37. Although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, it is so
debilitating that it has become an economic drain on
many developing countries.
(A) it is so debilitating that it has become an
economic
(B) it is of such debilitation, it has become an
economical
(C) so debilitating is it as to become an economic
(D) such is its debilitation, it becomes an
economical
(E) there is so much debilitation that it has become
an economical


A项不太理解,两个it都是指代 schistosomiasis吗？不理解句子意思了
C项为什么错了？
D项中OG说a slight change in meaning,不理解，debilitation 与 debilitating 意思哪里不一样呢?另外，为什么说the construction introduced by such is awkward and wordy.

Benite

A 是的 debilitate 是个使动词 意思就是使国家衰弱，甚至导致经济低迷

francoiswang

使用debelitation,句子意思哪里变了？

Benite

there is so much debilitation 和 schistosomiasis is so debilitating

显然有可能表达的不一样的意思

第一句只是说存在一种弱化 并没有说明 schistosomiasis 就是这种弱化

quasimodov

也在看这个题目，a的it 应该指的都是 schistosomiasis
说是so as to不能用倒装。
adj好于n，所以用debilitating更好

Sherryxqr

C错大了，"so adj is it as to ..."压根就没有这个结构.....
建议查一下 "so adj as to ..." 的用法例句

D，说它改变了句意。你这么理解，原句想说 "Although S is not often fatal, S is so debilitating that it has become X"
结果现在变成了"Although S is not often fatal, S becomes X." 这就丢掉了以下两层逻辑意思：1. "S is debilitating"; 2. Because "S is debilitating", S has become X.

难道是只有so as to的用法？？
意思是为了。。。
