Solution:
Idiom*
A term that shows ‘contrast’ would be the right fit to start the sentence. Choices B, C, and D fail to show contrast due to the use of ‘having’, ‘all such’, and ‘professing’. Thus, B, C, and D can be eliminated.
E is wordy and awkward.
A, the best choice, introduces contrast by the use of ‘for all’, meaning ‘despite’ and is concise.
