OG10

10. 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

OG的解释说In B, the agreement ... to the fact is unidiomatic，我想问一下，为什么idiomatic？什么才是idiomatic？

本题主要是考：

parallel :            agree that....... and that......

Choices B, C, and D incorrectly omit that after agree; that is needed to create the parallel construction agree that there is waste . . . and that the government... spends.

idiom指的是agree that的用法

unidiomatic指agreement 正确的用法：

agreement to do sth.(B错）

agreement that

be in agreement

come to/reach an agreement

under an agreement

谢谢

我还想问一下，agreement后面如果想跟fact，中间应该用什么连词？

hougang，are you sure?

No, I can't say it for sure. But I have a simple example:

They have made an agreement about the plan that.... (Extracted from 金山糍粑)

Here, that refers to the plan.

agreement

Agreement is words between two people.
For example: He and I have come to an agreement.
所以，agreement among voters to sth.是unidiomatic

是这样的吗？AGREEMENT 是指两个人之间的？
