    I know the correct usage is 'as many as' but isn't 'so....that' also correct?

    Well this question implies: " 300 guests is just the correct amount( Max.) anyone can host.

    But option C makes it to be to be an impossible case which is not as specified by the latter part of the sentence.
    I am told that i talk in shorthand & then smudge it.
