Hello everybody,
I would like to know about possible interpretations of the following sentence:
He was so annoyed that he didn't get that job.
I think that in most contexts this means that his annoyance was caused by his failure to get a job, and the conjunction "that" can freely be replaced by "because",am I right?
But is it possible to interpret previous sentence in a way that his annoyance effected his failure to get the job (e.g maybe he was annoyed with something and couldn't concentrate during the interview for the job)or I should express that like:
He was so annoyed so he didn't get that job.
or
He was so annoyed and that was the reason why he didn't get that job.
What word or expression beside "so" and "that was the reason why" would also be convinient to link the cause (annoyance) and the result ( failure to get a job)?
Thanks
