Transformation of sentences using “too”

Is “gets” the correct tense to describe a continuous process in “John gets mentored on a daily basis”?Using many / much / a lot of with *population*“If you or somebody you know” vs “If somebody you know or you”Does “would” indicate intent but not possibility?Is it “Most of the reading was done” or “Most of the reading were done”?Using too many 'to's in a sentence?Be mindful of using vs be mindful ofUsage of “to” in the mentioned sentenceHow to punctuate interpolated interjections which are sentencesUsing 'not only… but also'

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;

An example:

Tanzil is so capable that he does not require help.

Answer: "Tanzil is too capable to require help"

On this basis transform the sentence:

Naman is so innocent that he gets easily deceived

Changing the sentence using "too", I wrote

"Naman is too innocent to not be easily deceived."

However that is wrong.
The correct answer is: "Naman is too innocent not to be easily deceived."

Please somebody clarify the above.

  I don't really follow. Did someone tell you that the form "to not be" is incorrect, but with no explanation? Maybe he objected to the split infinitive; we prefer to put the word "to" immediately before the verb in an infinitive. This objection really has nothing to do with business of "so" and "too."

  I think of "right" and "wrong" constructions as questions of degree and taste. In this case I think that lots of literate and careful writers sometimes put the word "not" within the infinitive just the way you did. But personally I would make the same change that someone else seems to be advising you to make, putting "not" before "to." In my opinion it's partly a question of whether the particular words sound natural to you in one order or another.
