The following proposal to amend the bylaws of an organization was circulated to its members for comment.

When more that one nominee is to be named for an office, prospective nominees must consent to nomination and before giving such consent must be told who the other nominees will be.

Which of the following comments concerning the logic of the proposal is accurate if it cannot be known who the actual nominees are until prospective nominees have given their consent to be nominated?

A. The proposal would make it possible for each of several nominees for an office to be aware of who all of the other nominees are.

B. The proposal would widen the choice available to those choosing among the nominees.

C. If there are several prospective nominees, the proposal would deny the last nominee equal treatment with the first.

D. The proposal would enable a prospective nominee to withdraw from competition with a specific person without making that withdrawal known.

E. If there is more than one prospective nominee, the proposal would make it impossible for anyone to become a nominee.

The answer is E, but I don't know why. Thank you for your help.

if any nominees have to know who other nominees are before giving consent, no one knows other nominees and therefore no one will give consent, no one giving consent, therefore its making it impossible for anyone to become a nominee.

It took me a long time.
