1000 SC#91

91. 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

Only D has the correct idiom - So X as to Y

A and C use incorrect "so to"

B uses "sufficiently" incorrectly amongst other errors

D is preferred over E for use of the correct idiom.

thnx
i thought it could refer to chain or link so got confused..

[discreet]

To add to what Jay has mentioned...You will also find this in notes..

"So as to" or "so to" is almost always incorrect....
The correct form is

So "Adjective" as to "(verb) clause"

If you see "so as to" or "so to" you can probably eliminate that choice...

Option D has the right idiom usage but could anybody tell me, why Option E is wrong individually or D is having right idiom usage so E is wrong??

[mankey]

D and E both dont look very good to me.

"So as to" is a suspect idiom, so avoid it.

Thanks
