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.

答案（B）。想了半天都不解。请高人指教。
