(A) demonstrated to be weak, but not sufficiently so to require
(B) demonstrated as weak, but it was not sufficiently so that it required
(C) demonstrably weak, but not sufficiently so to require
(D) demonstrably weak, it was not so weak as to require
(E) demonstrably weak, it was not weak enough that it required I am very much confuse in usage of "so .... as" can some one explain on it....

Although one link in the chain was demonstrated to be weak, but not sufficiently so to require the recall of the automobile. (A) demonstrated to be weak, but not sufficiently so to require ('to be' is unidiomatic).(B) demonstrated as weak, but it was not sufficiently so that it required ('demonstrated as' is idiomatically correct; however, 'it was not...' is wordy).(C) demonstrably weak, but not sufficiently so to require (need the idiom 'as to require')(D) demonstrably weak, it was not so weak as to require (correct idiom of 'as to require')(E) demonstrably weak, it was not weak enough that it required (slightly wordy with extra 'it')

(A) demonstrated to be weak, but not sufficiently so to require ('to be' is unidiomatic).
(B) demonstrated as weak, but it was not sufficiently so that it required ('demonstrated as' is idiomatically correct; however, 'it was not...' is wordy).
(C) demonstrably weak, but not sufficiently so to require (need the idiom 'as to require')
(D) demonstrably weak, it was not so weak as to require (correct idiom of 'as to require')
(E) demonstrably weak, it was not weak enough that it required (slightly wordy with extra 'it') Thanks Chris for the explaination. Can you let me know how shall I mug up al the IDIOM. is there any method for it?

(E) demonstrably weak, it was not weak enough that it required (slightly wordy with extra 'it') Hi Chris. Both option D & E are having "it". So how are we exactly eliminating option E. Is it on the basis of tense used requires vs required?
