Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

Concerned about the 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

87.(31284-!-item-!-188;#058&005747)

Two years ago, the government of Runagia increased by 20 percent the government-provided pensions paid to Runagians over 65.The aim of the increase was to stimulate the economy in the rural regions of the country, where most pension recipients live.Statistics, however, show that there has been no increase in economic activity in those regions since then, but that there has been noticeably more spending in the urban areas.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain why the increase resulted in the unintended state of affairs described?

A. Until the pensions were increased, many Runagians over 65 in rural regions had been receiving support from their children who live in urban areas.

B. The pensions were increased when the number of people below the poverty level in rural areas of Runagia reached an all-time high.

C. City-dwellers in Runagia rarely travel to rural regions of the country.

D. The Runagian postal system is so inefficient that it can take up to three weeks for pension checks to reach recipients in rural areas.

E. On average, the pensions were higher in rural than in urban areas before the increase.

Goronian lawmaker:Goronia's Cheese Importation Board, the agency responsible for inspecting all wholesale shipments of cheese entering Goronia from abroad and rejecting shipments that fail to meet specified standards, rejects about one percent of the cheese that it inspects.Since the health consequences and associated costs of not rejecting that one percent would be negligible, whereas the cost of maintaining the agency is not, the agency's cost clearly outweighs the benefits it provides.

Knowing the answer to which of the following would be most useful in evaluating the lawmaker's argument?

A. Are any of the types of cheeses that are imported into Goronia also produced in Goronia?

B. Has the Cheese Importation Board, over the last several years, reduced its operating costs by eliminating inefficiencies within the agency itself?

C. Does the possibility of having merchandise rejected by the Cheese Importation Board deter many cheese exporters from shipping substandard cheese to Goronia?

D. Are there any exporters of cheese to Goronia whose merchandise is never rejected by the Cheese Importation Board?

E. How is the cheese rejected by the Cheese Importation Board disposed of?

为啥86不选 D 87不选E 89不选B
三道题的正确答案分别是 E A C
我感觉我真是要弱爆了....

86：给你讲个故事：你爸退休了你每个月给你爸寄500块钱后来你爸退休工资加了200 然后你每个月只给你爸寄300了.

说的就是总量没增加这个事儿。不管是不是贫困水平达到最高，只要领到的钱比之前多，那就比以前经济条件好。因此 D不行

87 跟86，其实就是一个硬币的两面农村老人的钱实际没增加：涨退休金后，城里的小孩不用给他们那么多钱了，自然就有更多钱在城里消费
E选项说加退休金前农村比城里的退休金高；这个横向比是没有意义的只要纵向比以前钱多农村就应该有消费增加

89 请注意结论：the agency's cost clearly outweighs the benefits it provides.

我们有句成语叫杀一儆百也就是说尽管只查出1% 但是威慑力让其它的人不敢卖伪劣产品因此它的作用其实不仅限于表面的1%

就好比我说我家有报警器却从没有人窍我家的门我这报警器白装了其实殊不知正是因为报警器人家才不敢窍门。

B选项说的是有没有去降低成本这是错误的比较我们要比较的是成本和潜在的作用而不是这个成本本身用上面的例子做了类比：比如说请问报警器是不是白装了？然后有个答案说这个报警器不是最便宜的，市场上还有更便宜的报警器。这个答案的谬误就跟B选项是一样的。
