标题: GWD第六套19题求助!
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
答案是E,不太理解,觉得是无关选项。我选的C,因为虽然收入提高了,消费(物品价格)也提高了。
这题的题干以前见过,是OG上的,当时没有E选项。
请大家指教,谢谢!

E选项看了半天也没看懂,好隐晦。还好,找到了以前的讨论:
