In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled so as to marry Anne Boleyn.
(A)        so as to marry
(B)        and so could be married to
(C)        to be married to
(D)        so that he could marry
(E)        in order that he would marry

选A为什么不行，主语一样啊，

tongxun

so as to 短语必须有明确的主语，一般是紧跟的名词做主语，或前面只有一个名词。
而且是跟简单的形式。
在这个句子中，A的marry的动作执行者不清晰

IMHO, I feel that "so as to" is too far away from "King Henry VIII". D has "he", so D is better. Maybe A is not wrong, but I feel D is better.

tongxun's explanation is good!
