The Emperor Augustus, it appears, commissioned an idealized sculptured portrait, the features of which are so unrealistic as to constitute what one scholar calls an "artificial face."

(A) so unrealistic as to constitute
(B) so unrealistic they constituted
(C) so unrealistic that they have constituted
(D) unrealistic enough so that they constitute
(E) unrealistic enough so as to constitute

My take A. Please provide OA.

Thanks
Mankey

(A) so unrealistic as to constitute Correct IDIOM SO X AS TO Y
(B) so unrealistic they constituted -
(C) so unrealistic that they have constituted Correct IDIOM SO X THAT Y
(D) unrealistic enough so that they constitute
(E) unrealistic enough so as to constitute

Now between A and C

SO X AS TO is used to show cause-effect relationship,perfect fit for this situation.
IMO A

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
