請依下文回答第 16 題至第 20 題： In April 1968, Britain was debating the Race Relations Act, which made it illegal to deny a person employment, housing or public services based on race or national origin. The law was intended to protect immigrants from Commonwealth nations, especially former colonies in the Caribbean, India, and Pakistan. The first of these immigrants, 492 Jamaicans, had arrived 20 years earlier. Hundreds of thousands followed. "The immigrants were called over," says Sathnam Sanghera, an author whose Sikh parents emigrated from India during that time. "There was a labor shortage. There weren't enough people to run the factories after the war." The immigrants were granted British citizenship and helped rebuild Britain after World War II. But they faced racism. Landlords wouldn't rent to them. Some employers turned them away. The Race Relations Act was intended to protect immigrants. The tension was especially obvious in Wolverhampton, one of the first cities in Britain to experience mass immigration. Enoch Powell, who represented Wolverhampton in Parliament, feared a race war coming because of mass immigration. On April 20, 1968, he took the stage at a Conservative Party event at the Midlands Hotel in Birmingham and gave an incendiary speech that would come to define him — and divide his country. In the speech, Powell warned, "that tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic ... is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect." He attacked the bill that outlawed discrimination. He said it was whites who were facing deprivation and that Britain "must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting" large numbers of immigrants to enter. The Times of London immediately labeled it an "evil speech." Conservative Party leader Edward Heath dismissed Powell from the party leadership. But polls showed a majority of Britons supported Powell. Many protested, saying, "Powell was right." The speech emboldened racists.

喔，看來你這次總算沒犯低級錯誤。
- 基本常識檢驗：你竟然還能記得這些文章細節。文章明確寫著「Conservative Party leader Edward Heath dismissed Powell from the party leadership」（保守黨領袖希斯將鮑威爾從黨領導層中撤職）。這難道不是在告訴你，就算外面有群眾瞎起鬨，官方立場還是決定把這個麻煩人物切割掉嗎？這不是火箭科學。
- 鑑別度評級：本題難度確實只有 medium。它就是個用來區分那些只看表面數字，和那些還能思考一下「誰說了算」的人。大部分學生就是會被「大多數英國人支持」這種糖衣毒藥給騙過去，幸好你這次腦袋還沒完全短路，成功避開了那個顯而易見的陷阱。別太驕傲，下次可能就沒這麼好運了。
