<p>One of the earliest ancient Greek writers of love poetry, Sappho (has had such a profound influence on) later lyric poets that she came to be known as "the tenth Muse."</p>
<p>(D) so profoundly influenced
(E) profoundly influenced </p>
<p>Why is (E) wrong?!</p>
<p>because you have the “that she came to be known…”</p>
<p>If that phrase wasn’t there, E would be correct. BUT with that phrase, the sentence is emphasizing that because she SO! profoundly influenced lyric poets, something else happened</p>
<p>You need the ‘so’ to connect to ‘that.’ Otherwise the end of the sentence doesn’t make sense.</p>
