Whenever a major political scandal erupts before an election and voters blame the scandal on all parties about equally, virtually all incumbents, from whatever party, seeking reelectionsare returned to office. However, when voters blame such a scandal on only one party, incumbents from that party are likely to be defeated by challengers from other parties. The proportion of incumbents who seek reelection is high and remarkably constant from election to election.
If the voters' reaction are guided by a principle, which one of the following principles would best account for the contrast in reactions described above?
(D) Major political scandals can practically always be blamed on incumbents, but whether those incumbents should be voted our of office depends on who their challengers are. (E) When major political scandals are less the responsibility of individual incumbents than of the parties to which they belong, whatever party was responsible must be penalized when possible.
above are the two confusing choices besides, i don't quite understand the function or implication of the last sentence in the stimulus. How does it help me find the right answer? |
