| Factory outlet stores, operated by manufacturers, are usually located miles from downtown and regional shopping centers so as not directly to be competitive against department stores in the same trading area.
(A) so as not directly to be competitive against
(B) in order for them not to have direct competition with
(C) so that they do not compete directly with
(D) in order that they are not directly competitive against（C）
(E) for the purpose of not competing directly with
我的问题是，知道purpose有这样的用法：for/with the purpose of doing something
