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

A里面的much 可以修饰 voters吗？是不是题目出错了？谁能给我分析一下啊？

Here the "much" is for modifying "agree".

Let's say :

"I very much agree with your point".

if you undertand this senstence. Then how about I change the original sentence to :

"No matter how much US voter may agree blah blah........."

Does this make any sense to you?

这个俺还是有问题，OG里面说B，C，E还有个错误就是没有用“may agree”，而用“agree”，这之间的区别又是什么？哪位牛牛能教育一下？

而今迈步从头越

GMAT语法中情态动词may/can等不能随意添加/修改/删除！

Taking out "may" changes the original meaning of the sentence. "may" means a probable thing.

He is a millionare.

He maybe a millionare.

The meanings of the above 2 sentences are different.

谢楼上两位， 但是所谓“original meaning”是如何判别的？ 永远以A选项为准么？ 这句意如果不要“may”我觉得也能行的通罢？

I would say  A) is the original meaning the question meant to convey.

Without "may", this sentence is perfectly ok in terms of grammar, but it changes the meaning to --- "100% Americans agree...... ", With may, it means "some americans may agree, others may not...."
