抛块tiny砖～～

感觉用排除法做的话可以得到A的答案，其他答案错的离谱，或者不符合原意。不过这个加不加that的问题用相对错误vs绝对错误的方法解释不知道是否可以。

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

这个句子的逻辑意思是，这些人们很矛盾，又要这样又要那样

所以这里面的but肯定是不对的。

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

C, D 中while at the same time是不可以这么拆开来用的。

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

这个总算错的够明显 可以排除了吧？

B中，but后面的supporting和前面的denounce不平行

C中，they say的和前面they denounce的关系冲突

D中， at the same time supporting的supporting

E中，进行时没必要。
