Model Answer

Answer: B

Large societies produce too many individual opinions that need to be grouped and channelled into governable policy positions.

Explanation

The passage directly states: "large societies need representative democracy… they needed some agency to gather different views on various issues and to present these to the government." It also says a party "reduces a vast multitude of opinions into a few basic positions." Option B captures this exactly. Options A, C, and D are not supported by the passage.
