Cruiser007 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled so as to marry Anne Boleyn. (A) so as so marry (B) and so could be married to © to be married to (D) so that he could marry（D） (E) in order that he would marry OA: D I am not sure why is C wrong - "sought to"..........."to be married to".

bearbull Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I guess in C we are not sure who is to marry Anne ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couber Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage .......... annulled to be married to anne Boleyn In this the meaning of the sentence changes...'annulled to be married is not right....annulled so that he could marry' is better I think we have to eliminate the middle prepositional phrases and other unnecessary things to get a clear meaning of the sentence... correct me if am wrong.

ACETARGET Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 In my opinion also , the clarity is reason to select choice D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divineacclivity Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 In my opinion also , the clarity is reason to select choice D. Hi, I still can NOT understand why "to be married to" is wrong. The King sought to have his marriage annulled to be married to A.B. - why is this wrong. Doesn't it mean the same as the following sentence: The King sought to have his marriage annulled to get married to A.B. Is this sentence correct/better than the one above (to be married one)? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
