✗
After the scandal broke, many voters found it increasingly difficult to believe the politicians who promised fundamental change.
丑闻曝光后，许多选民发现越来越难以相信那些承诺根本性变革的政客。（believe sb. = 相信其所说；believe in sb. = 信任其为人/能力）
此处语境含义是「信任这些政客/相信他们的话」，两种含义都可能：believe sb.（相信某人说的话，对其陈述持怀疑态度）；believe in sb.（信任某人的为人/能力）；此句 believe the politicians = 相信政客们所说，语义正确；但 believe in the politicians 更强调「信任他们的能力和承诺」
