连词后面未必要跟句子？

evangelia

With only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third of its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per
capita than Europeans do.

(A) With
(B) As
(C) Being
(D) Despite having
(E) Although accounting for

答案是E，连词although后面跟的是分词短语，难道连词后面不是应该跟完整的主谓结构么？期待NN解答。

关注。虽然我选对了，但也不知道楼主的问题应该怎么回答。

although引导的状语从句在满足以下两个条件时可写作省略形式
1.从句主语与主句主语相同
2.从句为主语+BE结构
则可省略掉主语+BE

同样的状语从句引导词还有when,while,if,unless,although,(even)though

感谢楼上回答！这样就比较清楚了。

那使用but、and、or等这些连词的时候呢，是不是后面一定要跟完整的句子？
