Hi All,

In the below question, OA is [spoiler]"A".[/spoiler]...(OG-10, Q177)

Can someone please help me understand the cryptic language that OG used for kicking out B, C, and D.


==============================================

So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that many business executives fear this country will lose its economic preeminence.

(A) So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that
(B) As poorly educated and trained as many young recruits to the United States work force are
(C) Because of many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained.
(D) That many young recruits to the United States work force are so poorly educated and trained is why
(E) Many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained explains why

==============================================
The following is the reason that OG gives:

"In B, the subject of the as ... as clause (young recruits) should be the subject of the main clause aswell (e.g., they). Furthermore, main clauses following concessive clauses must express a contrasting notion: for
example, "As ill-prepared as they are, they nevertheless find good jobs."

C offers a wordy, convoluted because clause.

In D, the sentence form X is why is unidiomatic (X is the reason why would be idiomatic but needlessly wordy and awkward). "
