I need to complete these sentences with ONE word and one word only. I cannot change the way the sentences are phrased, so please don't modify them.
The words I completed them with are written in caps. I know they are not suitable, so could you point out if they're incorrect and suggest some other words to use? But remember, I can't modify the sentences, just complete them with a word.

1. I turned the volume down in order SO I wouldn't annoy them.

2. She went to her parents so THAT she could help me.

3. We walked quietly so as NOT to disturb the audience.

4. I go to bed early in ORDER not to be tired.

5. I walked faster so AS to catch the train.

Except for the "that " in #1 that others have pointed out, you're fine. You may want to know, however, that while "so as" is correct, it really isn't used very often. To express the meaning in #5, you'd more likely say "I walked faster in order to catch the train" or "... so I could catch the train".

Try THAT for sentence 1. The others seem ok to me.

1) but
the rest are correct, the first one also needs some changes but you said the sentences cannot be modified.
