原文第一段末尾 Duverger's research findingswere that women voted somewhat less frequently

than men (the difference narrowing the longerwomen had the vote) and were slightly more conservative.





The passage implies that, in comparing four European
countries, Duverger found that the voting rates of
women and men were most different in the country in
which women

The passage implies that, in comparing four European

which women
[size=undefined]

(A)were most politically active

(B)ran for office most often

(0held the most conservative political views

(D)had the most egalitarian relations with men

(E)had possessed the right to vote for the
shortest time

Inference

The comparison of voting rates is discussed at the
end of the first paragraph and forms the basis for
the required inference. Duverger found that
women voted somewhat less frequently than men but
that this difference narrowed the longer the women
had the vote (lines 9-11). That is, there was an
ongoing process of convergence in voting rates for
women and men, as the time period for which
women had the vote lengthened. This suggests
that at one end, when women had been voting for
the shortest time, voting rates were most
dissimilar, and at the other end, when women had
been voting for the longest time, the rates were
most similar.
这个题倒是根据排除法也能选出E，但是为什么是E，我弄不清楚，OG的解释也没看懂，到底是怎么个推理过程？求助！

【the difference narrowing the longer women had the vote】=【the smaller the difference, the longer women had the vote】
Narrowing前似乎省略了is。
若改成【the difference is narrowing, the longer women had the vote】，是不是好懂一些？

The difference narrowing the longer women has the vote. 意思是说，差距越来越小随着女人能投票的时间慢慢变长。（妇女投票越长，男女投票的频率相差越小。） 所以题目问，哪个国家的女人和男人投票时候差异最大，通过括号里的那句英文可以推断出女人能投票时间最短的时候，男女差异最大。
