too vs so

[anwarma]

The black hole has entered the popular imagination as an object too massive that neither light nor matter can escape its gravitational pull.

(A) too massive that neither light nor matter can escape its
(B) too massive for either allowing light or matter to escape its
(C) massive enough that either light or matter cannot escape their
(D) so massive that neither light nor matter could escape their
(E) so massive that neither light nor matter can escape its

Can someone Help, please?

[loki.gmat]

i think the correct idiom is " so X that Y".

hence IMO E.

Thanks!

Ans E

1. We need its because black hole is singular

that leaves us A,B and E

B is just awkward

Between A and E, E is better because "so massive" makes the part before that a dependent clause

correct as loki said also follows an idiom so X that Y

[Almostthere]

the other idiom is so x as to (be) y...doesn't apply to this one, but something to keep in mind
