托福阅读句子简化题：Nineteenth-Century Politics

【Paragraph 6】In some ways the social makeup of the two parties was similar. To be competitive in winning votes,　Whigs and Democrats both had to have significant support among farmers, the largest group in society, and workers.

Neither party could win an election by appealing exclusively to the rich or the poor. The Whigs, however, enjoyed　　disproportionate strength among the business and commercial classes. Whigs appealed to planters who needed credit to　　finance their cotton and rice trade in the world market, to farmers who were eager to sell their surpluses, and to workers　　who wished to improve themselves. Democrats attracted farmers isolated from the market or uncomfortable with it,　workers alienated from the emerging industrial system, and rising entrepreneurs who wanted to break monopolies and　open the economy to newcomers like themselves. The Whigs were strongest in the towns, cities, and those rural areas　that were fully integrated into the market economy, whereas Democrats dominated areas of semisubsistence farming　　that were more isolated and languishing economically.(Nineteenth-Century Politics in the United States)

Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the　passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.

○Whigs were able to attract support only in the wealthiest parts of the economy because Democrats dominated in　other areas.

○Whig and Democratic areas of influence were naturally split between urban and rural areas, respectively.

○The semisubsistence farming areas dominated by Democrats became increasingly isolated by the Whigs'　control of the market economy.

○The Democrats' power was greatest in poorer areas while the Whigs were strongest in those areas where the　market was already fully operating.
