So substantial has been the increase in demand for treehouses that the world's leading treehouse builder will build over 150 treehouses in 2004, up from three in 1996. A. So substantial has been the increase in demand for treehouses that B. The increase in demand for treehouses has been so substantial, so that C. The increased demand for treehouses has been such, D. Such has the increased demand for treehouses been that E. Such has been the increased demand for treehouses, that
Inverted structure is used in the first part of the sentence. To simplify, we can also write the question & options as follows- The increase in demand for treehouses has been so substantial that the world's leading treehouse builder will build over 150 treehouses in 2004, up from three in 1996. A. So substantial has been the increase in demand for treehouses that - The increase in demand for treehouses has been so substantial that -Correct use of "So...that"
B. The increase in demand for treehouses has been so substantial, so that - The increase in demand for treehouses has been so substantial, so that -Use of SO again along with Comma is incorrect (it leads to redundancy)
C. The increased demand for treehouses has been such,- The increased demand for treehouses has been such - Such WHAT? -> WHAT is missing. Note "The world's......in 1996" in result of previous effect
D. Such has the increased demand for treehouses been that - The increased demand for treehouses has been such that - Use of SUCH THAT is incorrect. SUCH should be followed by an Adjective to emphasize the effect.
E. Such has been the increased demand for treehouses, that - The increased demand for treehouses has been such, that - Same error as in option D; moreover, comma should not be used after SUCH.
Hope it helps

Meaning, The increased demand for tree houses has been such that the world's leading treehouse builder will build over 150 treehouses in 2004, up from three in 1996.
(E) wins
Why do you think the meaning of choice (E) is correct usage?
For me, choice (A) is better. The construction of the sentence here is reverse
(A) The increase in demand for tree houses has been so substantial that the world's leading treehouse builder will build over 150 treehouses in 2004, up from three in 1996
In choice (E) there is no idiom be + such that. You can check it now :D.

So substantial has been the increase in demand for treehouses that the world's leading treehouse builder will build over 150 treehouses in 2004, up from three in 1996.
A. So substantial has been the increase in demand for treehouses that seem good
B. The increase in demand for treehouses has been so substantial, so that changes meaning completely
C. The increased demand for treehouses has been such, need that
D. Such has the increased demand for treehouses been that such is not specific enough
E. Such has been the increased demand for treehouses, that comma is wrong after treehouses
Answer A - The proper construction would be "So substantial has been X that Y" or "So substantial has X been that Y" or "X has been so substantial that Y." (A) is the only choice that uses one of these correct options.
(B) is redundant because it uses "so" twice for the same purpose.

first of all few things to note 1) So that 2) Such that 3) So [adjective] that 4) Such [noun] that all the above four forms are correct. please don't comma between so that or such that. putting comma will make the sentence wrong With this in mind let's see the options
A. Correct So substantial has been the increase in demand for treehouses that The entire green part works as an adjective B. Incorrect The increase in demand for treehouses has been so substantial, so that Wrong Idiom C. Incorrect The increased demand for treehouses has been such, Wrong idiom D.Incorrect Such has the increased demand for treehouses been that Clause between that is wrong E. Incorrect Such has been the increased demand for treehouses, that Wrong Idiom

I think this question was made during 2004 . The structure is as if the person is present in 2004 and talking about the demand increase till then. I choose A - direct answer So... that... Such .... that. . - meaning change. In E I don't like "," before "That". because of above two reasons i reject E. Only A prevails.

The sentence as written contains no grammatical errors. So substantial has been X that Y is an accepted construction. Other acceptable forms would be So substantial has X been that Y, or X has been so substantial that Y. There is no reason for the correct answer to switch to one of these other forms, but be aware that it could do so.
A quick scan of the choices doesn't reveal any useful grouping. Proceed to take a closer look at the choices.
(B) creates a redundancy by using "so" twice for the same purpose. (B) would have been fine had it said, The increase in demand for treehouses has been so substantial that.... As is, however, (B) must be eliminated.
(C) makes no sense when read into the sentence: "The increased demand ... has been such, the world's leading...." The sentence is now missing a connector between the first clause and the second. Eliminate (C).
(D) and (E) use "such ... has been" incorrectly. The phrase such has beenis used to mean this is how things are, not to convey that the quantity of something is great enough to lead to a certain result. For example, the phrase is used correctly in Such has been my life, or Such has been the history of this country. With this question, however, the sentence is trying to say that the increase in demand has been great enough to lead to much more work for the leading builder. "Such ... has been" is therefore inappropriate here. Eliminate (D) and (E).
