In the question it is not mentioned as a fact that the parents in the J dist may agree. In fact we are not sure of anything regarding the parent's opinion.

"However much parents in Johannson's district may agree" does not give us any solid information regarding the parents' stand.

So, is much quantifying agree here? Because I guess parent should be countable noun, and it should take many with it, not much!

Does the sentence mean something like: How much the parents agree......?

Please explain!

even though does not mean the same thing as However much.

and you need that to tie in the sentence.

Hence A is correct..even thought it is ackward..

Why E is incorrect ? It gives the same meaning as A does, with less awkwardness. I hate SC the most.
