There are far fewer children available for adoption than there are people who want to adopt. Two million couples are currently waiting to adopt, but in 1982, the last year for which figures exist, there were only some 50,000 adoptions.
Which of the following statements, if true, most strengthens the author's claim that there are far fewer children available for adoption than there are people who want to adopt?
(A) The number of couples waiting to adopt has increased significantly in the last decade.
(B) The number of adoptions in the current year is greater than the number of adoptions in any preceding year.
(C) The number of adoptions in a year is approximately equal to the number of children available for adoption in that period.
(D) People who seek to adopt children often go through a long process of interviews and investigation by adoption agencies.
(E) People who seek to adopt children generally make very good parents.

求教：应该怎么理解题目？正确答案是C
我之前理解的是，people who want to adoption的人多，而真正成功收养了的少，不知道C应该怎么理解呢？

楼楼这是我的理解哈待收养小孩的人数和adoption是不能划上等号的，也就是说adoption可能会小于实际小孩人数，也就是我们说的配对不成功嘛。。。

哈哈你的解释好形象啊！
我想的是C是唯一和题目相关的选项
in the last decade in any preceding year 还有什么INTERVIEW
原文根本只字未提他们和ADOPTION什么关系我信息不足根本不能妄加推断

D就跑题得更远了

the conclusion is "there are far fewer children available for adoption than there are people who want to adopt".
A.文中并未提到waiting couples的增长,无关选项.
B.not mentioned,irrelevant.
D和E都是无关选项.
排除法选C,同2#的看法.

没看懂2楼的意思 ..fewer是更少的意思 ...不是更多的意思...

我是这样认为的..题目中说去年领养数是50000, 然后C中说每年领养数和实际孤儿数基本是一致的,那么今年如果有200万人想领养,但是孤儿却只有50000左右, 那必然加强了结论,即能被领养的孤儿远少于想领养者的数量...
