OG-10引出的疑惑

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 difficult to find broad support for a movement toward a minimal state.
(A) However much United States voters may agree that
(B) Despite the agreement among United States voters to the fact
(C) Although United States voters agree
(D) Even though United States voters may agree
(E) There is agreement among United States voters that

这里的HOWEVER按字典解释是副词, in whatever way or degre. 字典接着举了个例子: He will never succeed, however hard he tries.

但我有些不明白了, HOWEVER 如果是副词, 怎么连接两个句子呢? OG10和这个例子中, HOWEVER都是在连接两个句子啊?? 如果我没记错, 句子和句子间是需要连词的, 对吧?
谢谢你的回复.

1 However即可adv.，也可conj.。如果你的字典没提conj.，drop it, useless. :-)
2 退5步讲，即便是副词，连接两个句子也不是什么大不了的事(是不是啊？)。没听过下面这个歌儿吧：
Wherever you go, wherever you do, I'll be right here waiting for you...

那歌我听过, 但它用了连接副词, WHEREVER. 连接副词: WHEN HOW WHY WHERE. 就这么多了.

HOWEVER 可以是CONJ. 但在该句的解释是副词, 我真有些糊涂了.

另外, 各位都用什么字典? 我用牛津的, 但发现有些用法查不到, 累得很. 比如 ESTIMATE TO BE(OG14), A 选项(错)里的ESTIMATE AT, 居然字典就是这中用法. 我只好想也许用在不同的场合不同...

这个题目原来讨论的十分详细你找一下

我想明白了, 呵呵, 绕来绕去, 差点糊涂.
因为 HOW WHEN WHY WHERE 是可以做连接幅词, 而由此派生出来的 HOWEVER, WHENEVER, WHEREVER 也是连接副词, 可以连接两个句子. (顺便说一句, 书面英语两个独立的句子, 只能通过连词或连接副词等粘在一起, 不然就是RUN-ON SENTENCE, GMAT 喜欢考察的东东.)
