Misplaced modifier(who modiies young recruits and should be as close to it as possible) + awkward sentence formation(points that the problem lies in the young recurits themselves rather than in poor eduation and training.)


(D) That many young recruits to the United States work force are so poorly educated and trained is why

That 'x' is the reason why 'z' happened is the correct idiom.

@Shipra this is what I thought, may or may not be correct and convincing, others please add or rectify the reasoning

Thanks

Correct Idiom is So X that Y

B - usage of as ......... as ........ is incorrect.
C - it seems that "poorly educated and trained" is modifying "United States work force" whereas it should modify "young recruits".
D - the correct idiom is "so X that Y" n not "that Y so X".
E - same as C.

hence IMO A.

Thanks!
