From the information provided in the paragraph, what can be inferred about the election of 1892？
A．Its result was disputed on the grounds that smaller states had a disproportionate influence on the outcome.
B．The winner of the election received more popular votes than his opponent.
C．The winner-take-all system of state electoral votes led to a decisive majority for the winner in the Electoral College.
D．Reforming the Electoral College system was an issue of contention in this election.
E．This election led to the formalization of the Electoral College by the Twelfth Amendment.
参考答案
正确答案：B
解析：The passage states: "there have been four presidential elections in which the candidate who won the Electoral College actually lost the popular vote: 1824, 1876, 1888 and 2000." Logically, therefore, in all of the other elections, the winning candidate won the popular election. The passage does not supply strong support for any of the other answers; note that C is incorrect because the passage states that the system could help create decisive majorities, not that it actually did so in 1892.
