Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
Concerned about financial well-being of its elderly citizens, the government of Runagiadecided two years ago to increase by 20 percent the government provided pension paid to all Runagrans over 65. Inflation in the intervening has been negligible, and the increase has been duly received by all eligible Runagians. Nevertheless, many of them are on better off financially than they were before the incerase, in large part because____

C. They buy goods those 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 parent, but only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living.
E, 按试养老金涨20%也不够.所以没用.
楼上的XDJM们是不是把题看反了. many of them are on better off financially than they were before the incerase, in large part because___ => 他们现在的经济情况比以前好了, 主要是因为___. 所以答案应该是说government的pension increase怎么怎么有用, 不是怎么怎么没用.
我选C.
E語意上說明即便政府調漲小孩也付不出來
C的部分太偏頗且未敘述該IN TIMES OFINFALTION 是在這兩年
且說不定物價上漲還未超過20%漲幅
支持E
应该是加完钱后没什么变化的话，应该经济情况差不多
现在情况是：现在比加好钱还要好
问为啥
E：因为小孩开始赚钱
"many of them are on better off financially than they were before the incerase"
agree"他们现在的经济情况比以前好了"....mentioned before~~~
Answer:
"In Runagia children typically supplement the income of elderly parent, but only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living."
so the supplement makes elderly parent a comfortable living.
conclusion:
a comfortable living with supplement and pension make elderly parent on better off financially.
我的gwd版本怎么是many of them are no better off……？
E说子女赡养老人的费用进够老人的基本生活
假设，原来老人收到100元作为基本生活费用，全部由子女承担
先在，政府补贴20给老人，那么子女只会给100-20=80，那么基本生活费并未改变，很没有孝心的做法，呵呵。

Nevertheless, many of them are on(我的是no,我猜想也是no,不然就不用转折(nevertheless了) better off financially than they were before the incerase, in large part because____
A. They rely entirely on the governent pension for their income. 无关
B. Runagian banks are so inefficient that it can take up to 3 weeks to cash a pension check. 无关议题
C. They buy goods those prices tend to rise especially fast in times of inflation. 通膨都不变
买的东西价格却比通膨胀的快
故可解释未何raised pension 无用,我想是这样
D. The pension was increased when the number of elderly Runagians below the poverty level reached an all time high. 无关
E. In Runagia children typically supplement the income of elderly parent, but only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living.既然是no, 就没有解释转折语气的意味了
, 且2.这里没有说elder parents 有没有超过65岁
3. comfortable无法衡量
就没有解释转折语气的意味了
, 且2.这里没有说elder parents 有没有超过65岁
3. comfortable无法衡量
"supplement" means close the gap between the expenditures required by "comfortable life" and the pension.
If and only if the pension exceeds the requirement can the elders be better off, if not, their life keeps unchanged at the comfortable level
这题跟og12中的22题干一样，但选项有些不同，感觉应该是c
