07.Dr. Hakuta's research among Hispanic children in the United States indicates that the more the children use both Spanish and English, their intellectual advantage is greater in skills underlying reading ability and nonverbal logic.

答案为(C) the greater their intellectual advantage in skills underlying reading ability and nonverbal logic

为什么答案没有谓语部分呢？不理解the+比较级。。the+比较级。。。不是应该平行结构的么？

10. However much United States voters may agree that there is waste in government and that the government as a whole spends beyond its means, it is diffifult to find broad support for a movement toward a minimal state.

However is a adverb here, which is used to say that it does not matter how big, good, serious etc something is because it will not change a situation in any way.

I think the point here is that it will not change a situation in any way, whereas although, even though do not have.

It is based on Longman Contemporary Dictionary, besides I made the same mistake here as you did.

第10题是条件从句，不是转折关系。无论。。。都，而不是既管。。。但是。

A is the best choice. Choices B, C, and D incorrectly
omit that after agree; that is needed to create the parallel
construction agree that there is waste . . . and that the government...
spends. Choice E, though it retains that, is grammatically
incorrect: because E starts with an independent rather than a subordinate
clause and separates its two independent clauses with a comma, it creates a
run-on sentence with no logical connection established between the halves. In
B, the agreement ... to the fact is unidiomatic, and B, C, and E alter
the sense of the original sentence by saying that voters agree rather
than that they may agree.

第二题OG的解释是：

按照上面的分析，首先判断的重心放在agree后面的clause是否有that引导，由此否定B/C/D，我的理解是：agree后面有两个并列的宾语从句，第二个宾语从句有that，所以前面一个也要有that，构成：may agree that……and that……。
