A Correct answer
Explanation

Options (3), (4) & (5) are incorrect as they do not follow correct idiom – ‘so...that’ or ‘such...that’. Between options (1) & (5) – ‘so...that’ is used for measure of something and goes with an adjective while ‘such...that’ is used for nature of something and is followed by an abstract noun. Hence (1).
