选项 A、In respect to
B、Given
C、Considering
D、Despite
答案 D
解析 此题属于语篇连接题。此句的前半句提到各级政府的建立，然而句子的意思却是令人困扰的问题动摇着其政治，根据逻辑推理，前面的短语和句子的主要成分应是一种让步关系，故选项 D) Despite(尽管)正确。选项A) In respect to意为“与……有关”；选项B) Given意为“鉴于”，例如：Given the time available to US，we will have to submit the report in draft form．选项C)  Considering意为“鉴于，考虑到”，例如：You did very well to lift all those books considering how  small you are．
