I'll pick A.
I agree A uses the passive construct, 'spent by the government' but yet again, the rule does not forbid the use of passive expressions. Besides, 'such as' wins 'like' in the sentence. What's the 'OA'?

I am sorry I am not convinced with the OA. A dosen't sound good I mean may the problem is with my ears but E looks better constructed sentence. Gives us a clear disctinction.

"fewer" is only for countable noun
My question is $200 is countable or not?
I forgot the source of this question. I think Arco.
money is not countable. "fewer" would be applied to money in terms of coins, something physically countable and comparable.

In 'A' 'amount' should be followed by 'spent' to indicate which amount is being referred to. 'Like' in 'B' and 'D' instead of 'such as' changes meaning of the sentence and indicates that it is not the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) but institutions like NEA that are supported by the US govt. 'C' illogically states that European countries spend money to support National Endowment for the Arts. 'E' is concise and grammatically correct choice.
