OG 10，转折？

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

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.

A里面的however much什么意思？为什么不用转折？我查的however在做连词的时候等于althouth，那么much怎么解？

同问。

我看到这道题时，第一反应是much修饰voters，错。

但其它答案中没有比a更好的。

是不是however much表示程度？

However much United States voters may agree that = No matter how much US voters may agree that

把how much连在一起理解，即“无论US的选民赞成多少”（翻译出来好像很别扭）

例如：How much will US voters may agree? 作为疑问句就比较好理解。

希望能想通。
