Indeed, the war effort against Britain tended to suppress class conflicts. Where it did not, the disputing rebels of one or another class usually became Loyalists. Loyalism thus operated as a safety valve to remove socioeconomic discontent that existed among the rebels.

3.  According to the passage, Loyalism during the American Revolutionary War served the function of
(A) eliminating the disputes that existed among those colonists who supported the rebel cause
(B) drawing upper, as opposed to lower, socioeconomic classes away from the rebel cause
(C) tolerating the kinds of socioeconomic discontent that were not allowed to exist on the rebel side
(D) channeling conflict that existed within a socio- economic class into the war effort against the rebel cause
(E)absorbing members of socioeconomic groups on the rebel side who felt themselves in contention with members of other socioeco- nomic groups
我觉得E和原文表达的意思其实是不一样的，原文是说把rebel group 中的discontent去掉，而答案是说把content的人收进来
