First of all, remember that "so as" is incorrect on the GMAT. Just take it as a thumb rule.

Secondly, the pronoun they has no clear connection to employers or workers and could refer back to either of them.

Thirdly, this problem is not well written and hence I would not recommend spending too much time on it. It is definitely not an OG problem as you stated in the title.

Interesting question...!

N u r right it cud refer either... but still our job is to find JUST MOST SUITABLE option n sometimes it may not be perfect ... but that's not our problem...

Obviously B and D are contender... and D is the Correct one...

SO ...AS TO BE -> CORRECT IDM -> She is so pretty as to be exquisite.

AS .... TO -> Correct IDM

BUT

SO .... AS TO -> INCORRECT IDM====================================================================

want to write more.. but my spine not allowing me to sit anymore on system....

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.
