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

答案是A，因为主句是it is difficult to find broad support for a movement toward a minimal
state. 可是however可以引导一个从句吗？谢谢！

However可以引导从句，这里的however就等于no matter how。

网上帮你找了段资料供你参考：

However用作副词，可以表示让步：意为“无论如何”“不管怎样”，用来修饰形容词或副词，其词序为：however+形容词或副词+主语+谓语。这样用的however其实具有连词的功能，用以引导让步状语从句。如：
Phone me when you arrive, however late it is. 你到达之后就给我打电话，不论多么晚也要打。
用于此用法时，请注意以下几点：
此用法属however所有用法中最重要的考点，同学们务请引起高度重视。
这样用的 however 与 no matter how 大致同义。如：
People always want more, however [no matter how] rich they are. 人总是富了还想再富。
However [No matter how] hard I worked, she was never satisfied. 无论我多么努力地工作，她从来没满意过。

谢谢二楼的兄弟。做完所有官方出版的语法题，however的这种用法应该不常见。
