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

为什么 C不行呀》
我记得好像有做过类似的题，然后答案是老年人买的东西都是在通胀中上涨很快的
再说，即使不管这个，根据题目，C也对啊

答案E正确
指出老人除了政府养老金之外的一个收入来源 -- 子女补助
E说子女补助会根据老人们按需给予。政府养老金增加，子女补助会相应减少，老人手中的收入还是和以往相当。

C 不正确，因为题目已经说明这段时间物价没有上涨。

我觉得E还是有问题.虽然说子女也有赡养他们，但是他们如果得到了pension会更加幸福

正确答案是e   cd上有好多这道题的讨论帖的
注意这句话.Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible
就是说通货膨胀在这一时期的影响忽略不计了 怎么能选c呢

而e的意思是老年人的生活费主要靠年轻人补助，而且只是保障他们的基本生活，所以pension提高也不会老年人的生活也不会明显好转

楼主说的是不是下面这道题？（OG 12版第492页）：
Plan: Concerned about the welfare of its senior
citizens, the government of Runagia decided two years
ago to increase by 20 percent the governmentprovided
pension paid to all Runagians age sixty-fi ve
and older.
Result: Many Runagian senior citizens are no better off
fi nancially now than they were before the increase.
Further information: The annual rate of infl ation since
the pension increase has been below 5 percent, and
the increased pension has been duly received by all
eligible Runagians.
In light of the further information, which of the
following, if true, does most to explain the result that
followed implementation of the plan?
(A) The majority of senior citizens whose fi nancial
position has not improved rely entirely on the
government pension for their income.
(B) The Runagian banking system is so ineffi cient
that cashing a pension check can take as much
as three weeks.
(C) The prices of goods and services that meet the
special needs of many senior citizens have
increased at a rate much higher than the rate of
infl ation.
(D) The pension increase occurred at a time when
the number of Runagians age sixty-fi ve and older
who were living below the poverty level was at
an all-time high.
(E) The most recent pension increase was only the
second such increase in the last ten years.
