不好意思，搜出来的都没有回答，所以只好自己再发来问问。
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
答案是E,可是怎么觉得D也对呢？E对是不是说涨了福利孩子们就不给钱了？那样的话，并不代表老人们的日子不会好过以前刚刚到的comfortable living呀。D感觉是说特别特别穷的人数多了，那涨钱当然好了？看糊涂了。请大家帮忙看一下。
谢谢~！
楼主注意看原文说的是"养老金涨了,可是那些老人并没有比以前好过, 因为.....".
D老人增多了,养老金涨了.它不能解释为啥并没有比以前好过.养老金涨了,它是对每个老人的,并不是说由于老人多了,每个人分的就少了.不是这样的.
E是可以解释的.E说了以个事实:"在R, 除了养老金,都是由老人的孩子们供养的其余部分的."就是说养老金涨了,
可是还是不够,剩下的还是由老人的小孩伏单的.可能只是小孩拿的那部份变少了而以.所以老人们每个月或得的钱的总数没变,那他们的生活就和以前一样.
