1000 SC - 469

by jangojess » Tue Oct 02, 2007 2:00 pm
Kansas Republican Nancy Kassebaum, one of only two women in the U.S. Senate in 1992, said she did not so much wish for more women senators but more moderate Republican ones.

(A) did not so much wish for more women senators but more moderate Republican ones
(B) wished not so much for more senators who were women than moderate Republicans
(C) did not wish so much for more women senators as for more moderate Republicans
(D) did not wish for more women senators so much as moderate Republicans
(E) wished for more senators who are moderate Republicans than women

OA - C
My Choice - A
Trying hard!!!

Ideally, the sentence implies she wishes to have more moderate republican senate members than having more women senate members.
E makes a wrong comparison between republican senators and women.

The idiom so x as ..

IMO C.
