PR CAT 4

Three hundred guests is as many as even the most ambitious host or hostess should invite, and this number of guests is advisable only when circumstances actually demand it.


A as many as even
B so many as even
C so many that even
D as many that even
E even so many that


OA A

Why not .. C ???

C is out because of "that + should" combination.

in fact C,D and E are out because of that + some other reason
B is out = no idiom ==> so ...as
A is idiomatic and correct.
