So -that structure

Post by pdh0224 »

Dear teacher,

There had been so much confidence that Mr. Rutan's craft would successfully complete its mission that the X Prize Foundation, which has planned for a day like this since its founding in 1996, scheduled an awards ceremony Nov. 6.

Q : Does the clause "that the X prize...." mean the result of

the event or the extent of "so"?



All the best, :)
