Array of Tax Incentives.

by goelmohit2002 » Mon May 11, 2009 12:18 am
Hi All,

In the below Question (Q20 of OG-10) the reason for kicking out "C" and "E" as mentioned in OG is: "that" has been omitted which makes both the choices grammatically incorrect.

Can somebody please help me understand why omission of "that" makes the sentence grammatically incorrect ?

=================================================
An array of tax incentives has led to a boom in the construction of new office buildings; so abundant has capital been for commercial real estate that investors regularly scour the country for areas in which to build.

(A) so abundant has capital been for commercial real estate that

(B) capital has been so abundant for commercial real estate, so that

(C) the abundance of capital for commercial real estate has been such,

(D) such has the abundance of capital been for commercial real estate that

(E) such has been an abundance of capital for commercial real estate,

Thanks
Mohit

The idiom is So X that Y
or Such X that Y..

That is Needed in the construction and as a result C and E have been omitted
