GWD-8-Q19: GWD-2-12

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

Concerned about financial well-being of its elderly citizens, the government of Runagia decided two years ago to increase by 20 percent the government-provided pension paid to all Runagians over 65.  Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible, and the increase has been duly received by all eligible Runagians.  Nevertheless, many of them are no better off financially than they were before the increase, in large part because ________.

A.       They rely entirely on the government pension for their income

B.        Runagian banks are so inefficient that it can take up to three weeks to cash a pension check

C.        They buy goods whose prices tend to rise especially fast in times of inflation

D.       The pension was increased when the number of elderly Runagians below the poverty level reached an all-time high

E.        In Runagia children typically supplement the income of elderly parents, but only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living

我按照对应题号搜索到的不是这个题目，很困惑。答案是e,我选D，怎么都想不通。请那位大虾指点一下？

E是说在R地方,子女门是父母经济来源的主要支柱,比如一个老人一个月20块钱才够花.

原来的情况是PENSION 10块子女的补助10块.

现在虽然PENSIION增加了百分制20,既12块可是题中说,子女只是补充到够花的程度(这里就是20块),那这会子女就补助8块.

你看看老人的生活水平有提高吗?不正好填了空.

这个到底是说总量还是每份？
