that is so saturated with water that it acquires the character of a liquid

题目分析:略。
选项分析:
A选项:首先要明确的是,so...as to...与so...that...表达的意思一样,均为“太…以至于…”,一种因果关系。他们的区别在于,so...as to...用于主语和to后面的动作的发出者一致时,而so...that...中,主语与that之后的主语不需要一致。
那相比之下,A B两个选项间没有成分差异,只剩下 of 和 ‘s 的区别。此时,我们需要考虑,liquid作为一个无生命物体,需要用of。
B选项:正确。
C选项:enough需要置于water前面。因为,沙子是和“足够的水”饱和,所以才获得了液体的属性,而不仅仅是“和水饱和”,所以足以获得液体的属性。
D选项:enough不能和so as to 混着用。
E选项:表达“太…以至于…”中没有so much as to的用法。
1. so as to和so that的区别:
so as to后面接的是一个比较长远的,需要一段时间实现的,需要推测的目的;而so that就是一个direct的目的,只要做了,我就会变得怎么样。

(3)In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled so that he could marry Anne Boleyn. 取消婚约,我就可以娶另外一个人
