in fact, i don't think you should pick a sentence with "such that" in one piece. if anyone can prove me wrong on this, please do.
the ONLY non-awkward, correct sentences i've seen with "such that" are sentences about math or physics (e.g., "choose x and y such that x + y = 10").

pls, help explain the difference between

She is so beautiful a girl that anybody want to see her

and

She is such a beautifull girl that anybody want to see her.

I think that the first focuses on the "beautiful" and the second focuses on "a girl".

Am I correct?

Ron, Manhantan experts, I want to continue this thread for a reason

because on gmat " to such a degree that" and "to such a level that " are normally wrong on gmat. In the problem they are used, there are answer choice which are more concise. This makes me understand that tested topin is conciseness.

that is the reason I want you to tell me the cases in which "such that" is used. Is there one case: "such a noun that"?

please provide examples to back up your assertions. problem numbers are good enough (remember you are not allowed to quote OG problems on this forum)..

i am not clear about the pronoun in option A:

so many people have been moving to Utah such that Mormons who were once 75 percent of the population are now only accounting for half of it

at the end of the sentence, we see the pronoun "it".

what does "it" refer to?i think that "it" is intended to refer to population,but i am not sure whether it can.
please help and thank you!
