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

Parallelism + Grammatical construction


        In this correctly written sentence,
parallel subordinate clauses are followed by a main clause. These parallel
subordinate clauses are both introduced by that: that there is … and that the
government …

A Correct. In this sentence, the repetition of that to introduce two
subordinate clauses makes the construction parallel and correct.

E Using two independent clauses separated only by a comma creates a "run-on sentence"; the sense of the
sentence is changed by the omission of may.

The correct answer is A
.

*********************
不理解E选项的问题点Using two independent clauses separated only by a comma creates a "run-on sentence",我觉得E的结构和A没有区别,为什么E就构成了 a run-on sentence? 这两个独立的句子指的哪两个呢?

请NN指教,谢谢

E说的意思就是如果你要连接2个独立的句子不能仅仅用逗号。连接2个独立的句子需要用逗号加and。而且E是:There is agreement among United States voters 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. 你不觉得there is嵌套there is非常的啰嗦和不靠谱吗?

而A用的是however much...结构形成的让步状语从句是可以直接连接两个分句而不用and的

谢谢popup!
是不是A是 'however much...its means, it is...' , 即让步状语从句+独立的句子;
E是 'there is agreement..., it is...', 即独立的句子+独立的句子?

不好意思回你晚了,However引导的让步状语从句你可以把它和when引导的时间状语从句或者because引导的原因状语从句做一样的理解,when可以用来连接2个独立的句子,because也可以连接两个独立的句子,例句如下,所以however也一样。如果没有这些状语从句的连接词,或者没有and,2个独立的句子是不能仅仅用逗号连接的~
