much as就是much的一个idiom(习语,或者说固定搭配),much这里不必非得强行理解成修饰哪个动词。以下摘自牛津词典(本人较爱翻词典):
IDIOMS 习语
1.?much as?尽管;虽然 相当于although,though
Much as I would like to stay, I really must go home.?尽管我想留下来,但我确实必须回家。
那么上面这句话个人认为也可以说成
Although/Though I would like to stay, I really must go home.按照牛津词典的解释,这道题就有点太简单了,只有B可以。
如果以上解释有不足之处,望指正!
