为什么这题目划线部分用however much voters而不是however many voters? voters不是可数吗，谢谢！
...

Much不是修饰voters的，而是修饰may agree的，即同意的程度（how much the voters may agree）。

順想請教一下這整句話最恰當的翻譯?

未划线部分有个and that ，说明句子结构是...agree that.... and that... 于是排除B,C,D
再看E，是个run-on句子，逗号不能连接2个单独句子。而且There is agreement among ... that there is waste表达很awkward有2个there is句型
最后看看A，However开头引导一个分句，后面it is difficult...是主句，很perfect!
