Reading the passage
A argues that policy convergence improves equitable government and warns that proportional seats don't ensure responsive outcomes. B recommends PR precisely to make diverse alternatives matter. That is a disagreement about how electoral systems should serve voters, even though both value fair representation.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
B's case for giving minority parties effective representation runs against A's conclusion in favor of convergence. B offers a competing recommendation, rather than adding another example of A's preferred approach.
- B
Both discussions concern democratic electoral systems. Nothing establishes that their evidence comes from different disciplines.
- C
A argues for its own position. It isn't mainly laying out assumptions underlying B's case for PR.
- D
B doesn't accept A's general recommendation and then identify exceptional cases. It argues for the alternative A has criticized.
- E
Both address which electoral arrangements best represent voters. B's question isn't more general merely because its proposed answer differs.
