PREP2－45

A recent poll indicates that many people in the United States hold a combination of conservative and liberal political views; i.e., they denounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting many specific government programs for health care, education, and the environment.

(A) they denounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting

(B) they denounce big government--they say that government is doing too much and has become too powerful--but supporting at the same time

(C) they denounce big government, they say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful, while they support at the same time

(D) while they denounce big government, saying that government is doing too much and has become too powerful, at the same time supporting

(E) while they are denouncing big government--they say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful-- supporting at the same time

此题选A没有问题，其他选项的错误也是明显的，只是想请教一下，为什么A选项中的saying后面的宾语从句的that给省略了？GMAC一向将此作为考点，没有宾语从句that省略一定不对，是不是只要不是主句中的成分，宾语从句出现在在修饰结构中（比如插入语或是分词结构）就不用理会此问题？各位不知道还有没有别的例子可以支持，谢谢！
