语法题求教。。。

今天做VERBAL那本书 虽然句子没OG的复杂 不过考点依然是贯穿其中的。有几道题依然是昏的。恳请帮助。
1 （括号内为横线部分）第二题：(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 difficult to find broad support for a movement toward a minimal state. 我真理解不了However much 是怎么运用的

2 From the earliest days of the tribe, Kinship determined the way in which the Ojibwa society organized its labor, provided access to its resources, (and defined rights and obligations involved in the distribution and consumption of those resources.)
A 同括号内
B defending rights and obligations involved in their distribution and consumption
C and defined rights and obligations as they were involved in its distribution and consumption
D whose rights and obligations were defined in their distribution and consumption
E the distribution and consumption of them defined by rights and obligation
答案就是A
A项确实比较容易选出来，但是我所纠结的是C选项。但是C选项也可以通过被动语态来排除。我所纠结的是解释里面C项那个its指代不清。要知道在原句里面the Ojibwa society 已经organized its labor, provides access to its resources, 那么C选项里面的its应该也是的对的啊。而且C选项前面的and defined rights and obligations as thy were....也没有可以误认成为its的单数主语啊。 为神马说C项的its没有清晰的referent 因为原句未画线的部分就是用的its

其实还有两道题的。不好意思再问了。希望能得到回复。。。

第一题，我的看法，However就是一个转折，much 是修饰united states voters may agree 的程度，不是修饰voters的。

第二题正在看

xiaxia0703

however much就是无论多少 就像whoever和who
however much和how much

第二题那个its根本没东西可以指代
distribution and consumption是resources

第二题的话，我不是很确定，如果说是Its指代不清的，可能是离指代对象太遥远了
