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.

这个题目读的很晕!原文和提干都没有读懂，请解释一下这个题目！

题的意思是如果在选举之前出现政治丑闻且选民把它平等的归咎于没个政党，几乎是所有的候选人身上，那么就要进行重新选举。然而当选民把它归咎于一个政党身上，那么来自于这个政党的候选人就会很有可能被其他的候选人打败。希望重新选举的候选人的比例很高而且保持不变。
问的是：下面的那个原则能够很好的解释选民的上述两种反映。
我的理解是（不是很肯定，仅供参考）
选民所遵循的原则是：那个政党要对丑闻负责哪个政党就要受惩罚。
对于第一种反映：平摊到每个政党的头上，根据这个原则每个政党都要受罚，所以重新选举
对于第二种反映：摊到一个政党头上，那么这个政党就要受罚，他的候选人就容易被打败。
看看大家的看法吧？？^-^！！！

原文：
两个政党都腐败，选举时保持原状
一个政党腐败，另一个政党获利。

原则一定要提到政党及涵盖以上信息。

A说的是incumber的比较，排除

B 比较两种情况accurate,原文没有。

C 又没有提到政党，且信息和原文不符合。原文贪污的还是可能继续留任的。

D原文说的是政党的丑闻，这里说的是个人的。。

E可能的时候，有丑闻的政党要负责。。包含了以上两条信息。正确。
