Here's a question from an old paper test:
You could never find a surface solid enough to stand on Saturn because the planet is less dense than water
A. solid enough to stand on Saturn
B. on Saturn where it is solid enough to stand
C. where it is solid enough that you can stand on Saturn
D. on Saturn that is solid enough to stand
E. that is so solid that one can stand on Saturn
OA: A
The way the sentence is phrased makes it sound like you're looking for a surface in general, rather than a surface on Saturn.
I chose D, because it clearly states that the surface is on Saturn, and not some random surface, and 'that' correctly modifies a surface on Saturn. Anyway when I googled this question, on other forums there seems to be alot of debate between the OA and D. Can anybody here clarify please?
