A for sure

Sentences starting with Although and Even though don't express the needed contrast.

OA is A. But I have a question...much should be used only with uncountable nouns...but in option A "much" is modifying a countable noun.

Can some one explain this?

"however much" is together. much does not modify the voters.

"much" is modifying "agree(ment)", which is abstract and uncountable.

Exactly. The choice was between A and D.
A shows a stronger contrast.

prashant_13 - It is not D because the meaning that the given statement in question wants to convey is the "degree" to which the voters agree.Not the number of voters but the "level/degree" of agreement.None of the other options states the same meaning.

A for sure...

To cross check it,
all the other options distort the meaning in some way..
