Answer

Democrats received a mandate to take a new approach to government.
B
Americans were apathetic and uninterested in the midterm election.
C
A Democratic president was left to work with a Republican Congress.
D
Voters showed they were willing to continue on the established path.

Explanation

In the 1994 midterm elections, Republicans won control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, while Democrat Bill Clinton remained president. This left a Democratic president working with a Republican-controlled Congress, as described in choice C. The election marked a major shift in congressional power, not continued Democratic control.
