Hello MGMAT forum,

In Problem Set, Question no. 7c (Page 174):
"Faced with the recurrence of natural disasters, such as floods and wildfires, many state governments have imposed significant taxes on their citizens SO AS TO prepare for the next calamity."

I can't comprehend why the sentence above is wrong in using the idiom "SO AS TO".
FYI, Answer Key indicates: (so as to do) WRONG
If anyone has figured this out, can you please share on the forum?

Thanks!

There's nothing to "figure out"; that's the annoying thing about idioms. :) You just have to memorize the rule for each idiom and when it can and can't be used..
