Hi,
I found this one really interesting so re-initiating the discussion. Request other members to join-in and share their views.
However much governments around the world may agree that nuclear proliferation must be halted and that steps should be implemented to reduce the level of nuclear stockpiles, it is difficult for countries to come to agreement on the specific methods of implementing such practices.
Stmt breakdown:
However much governments around the world may agree
that nuclear proliferation must be halted
and that steps should be implemented to reduce the level of nuclear stockpiles,
it is difficult for countries
to come to agreement on the specific methods of implementing such practices.
1:However much -> No matter how much
2:As per the bold phrase they haven't reached to agreement yet.
3:||sm is maintained using that around ||sm marker and.
a. However much governments around the world
may agree
thatb. Despite
the agreement among governments around the world to the fact
thatc. Although governments around the world agree
d. Even though governments around the world may agree
e. Despite
there being agreement among governments around the world
thatAnalysis
1:C,D straight out because of missing that.
2:Now as per the non underlined part agreement is yet to establish so "may" is correct usage. "there being agreement" or "the agreement among governments" shows certainty which is not req here.
Mistakes I did :
1: Didnt read the non-underlined part and wasted my time figuring out the difference A,B,E. Though, before working on SC question i always remind myself to read the non underlined part
2: Marked A wrong in rush.Was under the impression that much points to some uncountable entity here.
