Hi all, thanks for your time at the beginning!!
I have two questions,
1): on 2019 OG verbal #687, the answer choice recommend to use "to-verb"(i.e. to drink, to make, etc) over "so that", saying that though they both convey the purpose of the subject, but "to-verb" is better for that question. Can you explain what's the difference between these two on conveying purpose?
2): 2019 OG verbal #691, the correct answer choice writes "estimating the expansion rate of the universe is a notoriously difficult problem because there is no single yardstick by which all distances can be measure." initially i did not choose this answer was because i thought it was a run-on sentence without a working verb, does "there is no single yardstick..." consider as a work verb?
thanks!
