We are given just so much food ____ will keep us alive.

A. as

B. that

出自常春藤文法關係詞第23題



答案是A

可是我認為 We are given just so much food ____ will keep us alive. 中

若放that作為 food 的關代的話 不是一樣說的通嗎?

因為 as 在這裡也是擔任關代的角色

那這樣請問為何不能用that呢? 謝謝了！

此題應填as的關鍵原因在於"so....as...."之語意型態.
We are given just so much food as will keep us alive.


如果要用that也可以, 但必須移除前面的so, 代之以the.
e.g.
We are given just the much food that will keep us alive.

Glotynn, your example of "We are given just the much food that will keep us alive" has some problems. I have never heard anyone talk or write like that, but then again, I haven't been to all the English speaking countries in the world.

Thanks, Apex.
Between the two sentences:
(1)We are given just the much food that will keep us alive.
(2)We are given just the amount of food that will keep us alive.
Indeed, sentence (1) is not quite idiomatic, and people tend to say sentence (2) instead.

By the way, the following usage is also common:
(3)We are given just the little food that will keep us alive.

In my opinion,there is a phrase "so...that..."太...以致于...
If the answer is "that",it should be this phrase.
the sentence is like that "We are given so much food that will keep us alive" but 这个句型的that后面应为完整的句子
so I think the correct answer should be as.
For example:He is so young that he can't go to school.
In this sentence,that后面就是完整的句子
this is just waht i think.

太感謝您們了!
