考题讲解

情景：大部分的投票者认为政府需要解决三件事—污染，犯罪，和失业。但是在选举中，被看作是反对污染的候选者被击败，但不反对污染的候选者被选上了。

推理：本题直接问是为什么这两件事不能被认为是选举不准确。因此，我们直接在选项中去找这样的解释即可，无需在判断推理方式。

选题方式：略。

选项分析：

A选项：有些投票者不认为污染需要被减少。有些人不认为，不代表这些人都会投给反对污染法的人，也不代表这些人的数量是足够造成投票差异。

B选项：每一个被击败的候选者都拥有很强的反污染记录。本选项和投票与实际差异无关。

C选项：没有除了犯罪，失业，和污染外其它的让候选者们有明显不同意见的事件了。本选项反而增强了调查不准这一论调。因为没有别的事件干扰，所以出现这种误差，一定是由于调查有了不准的情况。

D选项：Correct. 所有被选上的候选者都是在犯罪和失业方面更强的。显然地，由于不仅仅有污染这一条规则，所以若成功的候选者都在另外两条方面更强，那么他们自然会更容易被选上，这并非是调查的失误。

E选项：很多投票的人拒绝参加调查。本选择增强了调查不准这一判断，因为很多人不被调查，所以被调查对象的代表性是堪忧的。
