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.
However much United States voters may agree that
Despite the agreement among United States voters to the fact
Although United States voters agree
Even though United States voters may agree
There is agreement among United States voters that
A is the best choice. 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. Choice E, though it retains that, is grammatically incorrect: because E starts with an independent rather than a subordinate clause and separates its two independent clauses with a comma, it creates a run-on sentence with no logical connection established between the halves. In B, the agreement ... to the fact is unidiomatic, and B, C, and E alter the sense of the original sentence by saying that voters agree rather than that they may agree.
在这个题中,平行结构的that , that 若省略了,就不对了.而有的题,如218题又可以省略,真奇怪.
Another exapmel:
98. The financial crash of October 1987 demonstrated that the world's capital markets are integrated more closely than never before and events in one part of the global village may be transmitted to the rest of the village--almost instantaneously.
integrated more closely than never before and
closely integrated more than ever before so
more closely integrated as never before while
more closely integrated than ever before and that
more than ever before closely integrated as
D is the answer. OG:that is needed so that two parallel clauses may be properly joined.
