1However 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. 答案选A。voters绝对可数。但是难道much 可以修饰可数名次？请再看下一道题目：

2A report by the American Academy for the Advancement of Science has concluded that much of the currently uncontrolled dioxins to which North Americans are exposed comes from the incineration of wastes.

(A)much of the currently uncontrolled dioxins to which North Americans are exposed comes

(B)much of the currently uncontrolled dioxins that North Americans are exposed to come

(C)much of the dioxins that are currently uncontrolled and that North Americans are exposed to comes

(D)many of the dioxins that are currently uncontrolled and North Americans are exposed tocome

(E)many of the currently uncontrolled dioxins towhich North Americans are exposed come

Choices A, B, and C are flawed because the countable noun dioxins should be modified by many rather than much, which is used with uncountable nouns such as "work" and "happiness." In addition, both A and C incorrectly use the singular verb comes with the plural noun dioxins. Choices C and D are needlessly wordy, and D requires that before North Americans, to be grammatically complete. Choice E, the best answer, is both grammatically correct and concise.按照答案上的解释MUCH根本只能修饰不可数名词。

好了，有谁能告诉我为啥第1题里面的A选项much就能选？为啥

第一题的Much 修饰的是美国投票者同意的“程度”
第二题的many修饰可数名词dioxins
