The U.S. census is not perfect: thousands of Americans probably go uncounted. However, the basic statistical portrait of the nation painted by the census is accurate. Certainly some of the poor go uncounted, particularly the homeless; but some of the rich go uncounted as well, because they are often abroad or traveling between one residence and another.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument above depends?

(A) Both the rich and the poor have personal and economic reasons to avoid being counted by the census.

(B) All Americans may reasonably be classified as either poor or rich.

(C) The percentage of poor Americans uncounted by the census is close to the percentage of rich Americans uncounted.

(D) The number of homeless Americans is approximately equal to the number of rich Americans.（C）

(E) The primary purpose of the census is to analyze the economic status of the American population.

这题到底想说什么意思,我都没看懂呢

题的大意是说美国所进行的人口普查所提供的结果并不是完整的，可能是因为一些穷人和富人都因为某些原因而没有算在其中，但是，奇怪的是，从数据的统计显示看来大体的还是正确的，这是为什么呢？
也许是因为结果是以百分比的形式体现，那么如果穷人漏查的人数所占的比例与富人的相同，那么从百分比上是看不出来的，所以也就解释了上面的奇怪之处，，，所以选C
