177. So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that many business executives fear this country will lose its economic preeminence. (A) So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that (B) As poorly educated and trained as many young recruits to the United States work force are, (C) Because of many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained, (D) That many young recruits to the United States work force are so poorly educated and trained is why (E) Many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained explains why A, the best choice, uses the idiomatic form So X that Y to establish a cause/effect relationship between clauses X and Y. In B, the subject of the as... as clause (young recruits) should be the subject of the main clause as well (e.g., they). Furthermore, main clauses following concessive clauses must express a contrasting notion: for example, “As ill-prepared as they are, they nevertheless find good jobs.” C offers a wordy, convoluted because clause. In D, the sentence form X is why is unidiomatic (X is the reason why would be idiomatic but needlessly wordy and awkward). E exhibits subject-verb disagreement: young recruits... explains why. OG说这里as...as从句是表让步，而且它的主语应该也是主句的主语。as...as从句可以表让步偶同意，但是表让步时主语应该也是主句的主语是不能接受的。 如：As cold as it was, we went out. 从句主语和主句可以不同。ETS凭什么说从句主语和主句必须一致。

我想这两句话可能应该要分开来理解:


第一句认为在这个情况下, as..as clause里的内容会被认为(而且从它的预期来看,是很可能)修饰主语business executives (而这是不合逻辑的)


第二句指出在让步从句中,主句和从句一般表示对比关系,像GG的这句就有对比的意思.而B中却没有(所以建议不用as ..as)


确实如果合起来就不对了.

我想问题不是在主句必须与从句主语一致 不一致的情况实在是多得不能再多 而这里用as...as明显出现了比较结构,既拿recruits和business executives 进行了比较,而你给的句子中不会有这种歧义
