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.<\/p>\n<p>If the factual information in the passage above is true, which of the following can be most reliably inferred from it?<\/p>\n<p>(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.<br \/>\n(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.<br \/>\n(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.<br \/>\n(D) The political stance of a third party will be more radical than that of either of the two major parties.<br \/>\n(E) The founders of a third party are likely to be a coalition consisting of former leaders of the two major parties.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/cr-political-parties-64885.html\">OA and Explanation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests\/\">online at GMAT Club<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&tag=gmatclub-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=blog&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math (PS) If 10 dollars are equivalent to 24 francs and 12 pounds are equivalent to 36 francs, what is the pound equivalent of 95 dollars?
