16. In a political system with only two major parties, the entrance of a third-party candidate into an election race damages the chances of only one of the two major candidates. The third-party candidate always attracts some of the voters who might otherwise have voted for one of the two major candidates, but not voters who support the other candidate. Since a third-party candidacy affects the two major candidates unequally, for reasons neither of them has any control over, the practice is unfair and should not be allowed.
If the factual information in the passage above is true, which of the following can be most reliably inferred from it?
(A) If the political platform of the third party is a compromise position between that of the two major parties, the third party will draw its voters equally from the two major parties.
(B) If, before the emergence of a third party, voters were divided equally between the two major parties, neither of the major parties is likely to capture much more than one-half of the vote.
(C) A third-party candidate will not capture the votes of new voters who have never voted for candidates of either of the two major parties.
(D) The political stance of a third party will be more radical than that of either of the two major parties.（B）
(E) The founders of a third party are likely to be a coalition consisting of former leaders of the two major parties.
这道题我完全不懂，哪位大虾指点一下！
两党竞选，第三党加入的影响。
A, C, D, E are not supported by the passage stem. That leaves us with B.
If before the ermergence of 3rd party (party C), the two major parties (party A & B) each have 50% of the votes, and as the stem says party C will attract voters from either A or B, but not both, then the result will be no party will gain more than 50% votes. Thus B is right.
懂了，多谢蝙蝠大哥。
我觉得这名字挺好，带一个“侠”字，显得特别仗义。别改了，顶多下次不这么叫你了。方法很简单，继续发文，变成其他的侠~
