By using the word “Notwithstanding,” the sentence sets up a contrast betweenVthe township residents’ behavior regarding the “other issues” and their behaviorVregarding the board’s annual budget, which they have “consistently passed.” “Accord” and “consensus” are similar in meaning but do not provide the
required contrast. Only “disagreement” and “divergence” provide the necessary contrast and lead to two sentences nearly alike in meaning. “Indecision” fits the context, but there is no other word among the possible choices that matches it closely.
Thus, the correct answer is disagreement (Choice D) and divergence (Choice E).
