2. 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．

(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．

B  That is omitted；the sense of the sentence is changed by the omission of may, agreement….to the fact is awkward．

C   That is omitted；the sense of the sentence is changed by the omission of may．

D   That is omitted．

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．

我觉得A不对呀，much voters肯定是不对，怎么说也得是many voters。

请教正解。
