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 reelection are 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' reactions are guided by a principle, which one of the following principles would best account for the contrast in reactions described above?
21. 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 reelection are 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' reactions are guided by a principle, which one of the following principles would best account for the contrast in reactions described above?
(a) whenever one incumbent is responsible for one major political scandal and another incumbent is responsible for another, the consequences for the two incumbents should be the same.
(b) when a major political scandal is blamed on incumbents from all parties, that judgment is more accurate than any judgment that incumbents from only on party are to blame.
(c) incumbents who are rightly blamed for a major political scandal should not seek reelection, but if they do, they should not be returned to office.
(d) major political scandals can practically always be blamed on incumbents, but whether those incumbents should be voted out 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.
以下是别人的解释:
先看题目,问的是原文中的对比"contrast"遵循的是什么原则"principle".原文中可以确定(1)major scandal如果是牵涉所有政党的话,结果是:几乎所有的在职人员都会Seek reelection;(2) 同样的major scandal, (原文中用的such a scandal)牵涉一个政党的话,结果有两个,一个是所牵涉的政党中的在职者会被challengers of other parties 击败,另一个是所有政党中的在职者中的大部分都会去seek reelction.
我认为这里有歌地方解释错了的。 先看题目,问的是原文中的对比"contrast"遵循的是什么原则"principle".原文中可以确定(1)major scandal如果是牵涉所有政党的话,结果是:几乎所有的在职人员都会Seek reelection;(2) 同样的major scandal, (原文中用的such a scandal)牵涉一个政党的话 前面是对的。但是2的结果有一个就是是所牵涉的政党中的在职者会被challengers of other parties 击败。
然后文中说the proportion of incumbents who seek reelection is high and remarkably constant from election to election。这是实际上发生的。
我觉得E解释理论上的没问题,但实际发生的(the proportion of incumbents who seek reelection is high and remarkably constant from election to election。)不知道跟这个principle 有什么关系。
the proportion of incumbents who seek reelection is high and remarkably constant from election to election. 这句话到底是什么意思,是单单修饰major scandal牵涉的这个政党 还是说总的看来是这样的 因为我没有看到这句话仅仅是对那个收到谴责的政党进行修饰,所以我认为这句话只是对以上情况的一个总的概括,不管丑闻是否和哪个政党有关,总的再次参选率就是很高,而且很稳定
if the voters' reactions are guided by a principle, which one of the following principles would best account for the contrast in reactions described above? 这句话是什么意思啊,小鱼来看看
