B.
A: No, because it's possible some of the Puerta supporters support Quintana, if not all. We don't have any info on whether or not P supporters also support Ramirez or not. It's possible all segments support Ramirez.
B. Yes. Since there is at least 1 segment that does support both Q and R, then Mashika's condition doesn't hold true, which means not all P supporters support Q... but some can still. This further means that there is at least 1 segment of P supporters that does not support Q.
C, D, E All No. Can't reasonably infer these. Have no info. It may be possible but that's not enough.

Mashika: We already know from polling data that some segments of the electorate provide significant support to Ms. Puerta. If those segments also provide significant support to Mr. Quintana, then no segment of the electorate that provides significant support to Mr. Quintana provides significant support to Mr. Ramirez.
Salim: But actually, as the latest polling data conclusively shows, at least one segment of the electorate does provide significant support to both Mr. Quintana and Mr. Ramirez.
Among the following statements, which is it most reasonable to infer from the assertions by Mashika and Salim?
A. At least one segment of the electorate provides significant support neither to Mr. Quintana nor to Mr. Ramirez.
B. At least one segment of the electorate provides significant support to Ms. Puerta but not to Mr. Quintana.
C. Each segment of the electorate provides significant support to Ms. Puerta.
D. Each segment of the electorate provides significant support to Mr. Quintana.
E. Each segment of the electorate provides significant support to Mr. Ramirez.

Mashika -
if Ms. Puerta’s supporters also support Mr. Quintana, then no segment that supports Mr. Quintana can also support Mr. Ramirez.
Salim-
This directly contradicts Mashika’s conditional statement if the premise about Ms. Puerta’s supporters also supporting Mr. Quintana were true.
Inference -
Since Salim’s statement is factual (based on conclusive polling data), Mashika’s conditional claim must be false.
The only way Mashika’s statement is false is if Ms. Puerta’s supporters do not significantly support Mr. Quintana.
Thus, it must be true that at least one segment supports Ms. Puerta but not Mr. Quintana.
Answer Choices -
(A) At least one segment of the electorate provides significant support neither to Mr. Quintana nor to Mr. Ramirez.
Not necessarily true. The argument doesn’t say anything about segments that support neither candidate.
(B) At least one segment of the electorate provides significant support to Ms. Puerta but not to Mr. Quintana.
Correct. This is what we inferred: for Mashika’s conditional claim to be false, there must be at least one segment that supports Ms. Puerta but does not support Mr. Quintana.
(C) Each segment of the electorate provides significant support to Ms. Puerta.
Too strong. The passage only says some segments support Ms. Puerta, not all.
(D) Each segment of the electorate provides significant support to Mr. Quintana.
Too strong. The passage never claims that every segment supports Mr. Quintana.
(E) Each segment of the electorate provides significant support to Mr. Ramirez.
Too strong. The passage only mentions one segment supporting both Quintana and Ramirez, not all.
