Arecent poll indicates that many people in the United States hold a combination ofconservative and liberal political views; i.e., they denounce biggovernment, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful,while at the same time supporting many specific government programs forhealth care, education, and the environment.

(A)theydenounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become toopowerful, while at the same time supporting

(B)they denounce big government--they say that government is doing too much andhas become too powerful--but supporting at the same timewonder

(C)they denounce big government, they say that government is doing too much and ithas become too powerful, while they support at the same time

(D)while they denounce big government, saying that government is doing too muchand has become too powerful, at the same time supporting

(E)while they are denouncing big government--they say that government is doing toomuch and it has become too powerful-- supporting at the same time

the answer is A, but I really wonder "supporting" is parallel with "saying" or with "denounce"?

I think it is parallel with "denounce"

but from the grammatical aspect, it seems parallel with "saying"

please help!!

my sogou typing is broken, so I cannot type hanzi=.=

thank you!

我是这样理解的
saying之后解释denounce的内容，而while supporting简洁，while有对比意味，且指同时发生~
下面这道题：
Recently implemented “shift-work equations” based on studies of the human sleep cycle have reduced sickness, sleeping on the job, fatigue among shift workers, and have raised production efficiency in various industries.
(A) fatigue among shift workers, and have raised
(B) fatigue among shift workers, and raised
(C) and fatigue among shift workers while raising
(D) lowered fatigue among shift workers, and raised
(E) and fatigue among shift workers was lowered while raising
选c，OG解释the phrase while raising provides a clear contrast with have reduced.
