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
我觉得也确实有道理，但是并没有C这么直接啊。虽然文章里提到了通货膨胀可以忽略不计，但是我认为还是有的。

所以特求大神帮忙看下C选项为啥不对呢？

谢谢！

文章都說 Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible,
那Ｃ就是直接違反前提啊
並不是用“妳認為”來判斷
而是要以文章給的資訊為主
