334. 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
Correct: A
I picked D

Even I had picked D and got a big surprise on seeing A. But I guess A is correct.
The explanation is that "Even though United States voters may agree" makes it too specific. It implies that all voters may agree, while the original sentence does not imply such a specific statement.

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

But this isn't the greatest question. Overall, for SC, I would stick to OG as much as possible. If you have to, use just the big company sources after OG (us, TPR, Kaplan). SC is REALLY hard to mimic, so you want to make sure you've got questions from a source that really put the time and money in to do it right.
Please note: I do not use the Private Messaging system! I will not see any PMs that you send to me!!

yeah, I know, the problem is I have exhausted all the question in OG, Manhattan, Kaplan and PR, believe it or not, that's why I need "new material" or I will fall in the "just memorizing the right answer process"

B; agreement among United States voters "to the fact", is too wordy and unecessary
E; This statement fails to bring out the contradictory part of the entire sentence
C & D; both these omit the use of the critical word "that"
Hence A

hi stacey,
in option A, "much" is used for "voters". I believe "voters" is countable noun; hence, option A is incorrect.
is this logic correct?
