【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] much as he likes her尽管他很喜欢她。much as+主语+谓语(表示爱憎的动词)表示“尽管”。起让步状语从句的作用，相当于although从句，如：Much as I would like to come，I can’t．Much as she hated cruelty，she couldn’t help watching the fight．其他表示让步的类似结构还有：形容词(或副词)+as+主语+谓语(be动词)，Come what may。try as one will/would，形容词(或副词)+though+主语+谓语等。
