Quote:
At first glance, this could be a a "so as....to", ambiguous "they", or "might" verb issue kind of question.
Quote:
"So as...to" is the idiom I know. Even if it was "so as...", that's not the meaning the sentence is trying to convey. It's more like: we ship bronze to make sculptures.
Quote:
Better than A, but the idiomatic phrase is "in order...to...".
Quote:
What is "there" referring to?
Quote:
Not terrible. Would prefer the action form though.
Quote:
"Such that they" isn't the right usage. Also, such that [bronze] could be sculpted into countless bronze statues is too much 'bronze;...and unnecessary.
Of all the answer choices, D is the better one.
