These are the questions for which I need some help.

1.) The odds are about 4 to 1 against surviving a takeover offer, and many business consultants therefore advise that a company's first line of defense in eluding offers like these be to even refuse to take calls from likely corporate raiders.


A that a company's first line of defense in eluding offers like these be to even refuse
B that a company's first line of defense in eluding such offers be to refuse even
C a company defending itself against offers of this kind that, as a first line of defense, they should even refuse
D companies which are defending themselves against such an offer that, as a first line of defense, they should even refuse
E that the first line of defense for a company who is eluding offers like these is the refusal even.


2.) Although one link in the chain was demonstrated to be weak, but not sufficiently so to require the recall of the automobile.


A demonstrated to be weak, but not sufficiently so to require
B demonstrated as weak, but it was not sufficiently so that it required
C demonstrably weak, but not sufficiently so to require
D demonstrably weak, it was not so weak as to require
E demonstrably weak, it was not weak enough that it required

A that a company's first line of defense in eluding offers like these be to even refuse -- usage of like is incorrect
B that a company's first line of defense in eluding such offers be to refuse even - awkward
C a company defending itself against offers of this kind that, as a first line of defense, they should even refuse -- they antecedant is singular
D companies which are defending themselves against such an offer that, as a first line of defense, they should even refuse

E that the first line of defense for a company who is eluding offers like these is the refusal even. -- usage of like is incorrect

A demonstrated to be weak, but not sufficiently so to require
B demonstrated as weak, but it was not sufficiently so that it required
C demonstrably weak, but not sufficiently so to require
D demonstrably weak, it was not so weak as to require - Although X, Y where X and Y are independent sentence and correct idiom so X as to YE demonstrably weak, it was not weak enough that it required

What's wrong with B it isn't one bit awkward. perfect use of the subjunctive, IMHO

D is wrong because "which" has no preceding comma, because plural "companies" must defend themselves against plural "offers" not "such an offer" and because use of "even" changes intended meaning...

It always helps to search the forum before posting questions, doesn't it?

A demonstrated to be weak, but not sufficiently so to require
B demonstrated as weak, but it was not sufficiently so that it required
C demonstrably weak, but not sufficiently so to require
D demonstrably weak, it was not so weak as to require
E demonstrably weak, it was not weak enough that it required
so "adjective" as to "verb"...makes option D d obvious choice....

Again https://www.beatthegmat.com/1000-sc-91-t3877.html already covers this :-)....i always search before posting, tx
