A.
2 sentences should demonstrate contrasting ideas, so E is out.
B, C,D are out because without MUCH they indicate ALL voters, the idea not welcomed by question stem.
I know ur concern is MUCH with countable nouns but according to OG and Kaplan 800 it is reasonable to use Much + pl countable noun. But as I explained above u can eliminate B,C,D,E without this concern.

Hi guys,

IMO A

It seems the only one that fits...

a "that" at the end is needed, so B, C and D out. A and E left.

E out because do not contrast anything, the sentence doesn't mean anything

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

OA and Source?

Thanks
