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




请问C为什么错？


OG上有一道类似的题，答案是C：
Plan: Concerned about the welfare of its senior citizens, the government of Runagia decided two years ago to
increase by 20 percent the government-provided pension paid to all Runagians age sixty-five and older.
Result: Many Runagian senior citizens are no better off financially now than they were before the increase.
Further information: The annual rate of inflation 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 financial position has not improved rely entirely on the government
pension for their income.
(B) The Runagian banking system is so inefficient 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 inflation.
(D) The pension increase occurred at a time when the number of Runagians age sixty-five 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.

。。。题里说的很明白啊。。。这段时间的INFLATION可以忽略不计。。。正确答案就肯定不是在INFLATION状态下的事情呢，很无关的选项啊。。。
而且E更好啊，题里其实要解释的是为什么好像钱多了，但是生活水平没变。也就是钱和生活水平的关系。
E的实际意思就是有了政府补贴之后孩子给的钱就少了，所以老人手里的钱还是刚好ENOUGH来过舒适的生活。也是钱和生活水平的关系。
所以其实单从和原ARGUMRNT的相关性来看就很容易把前4个排除，选E了。

那为什么OG上C选项又对呢？表达不是差不多的吗？

一个是忽略通货膨胀，就是说所有物品的价格增长都不计
一个是通货膨胀了5%，说明物品价格有增长，这里面就存在各种物品涨多涨少的问题了

唉，又忽略细节了

可是e选项只是说孩子们补充收入，勉强给老人们提供舒适的生活，没有说政府加资后孩子们就撤资啊之类的，这难道不是过度推测吗求解。。

1：题干明显写了inflation rate is negligible. 选项C：老人买inflation时涨价很快的商品。依然在通胀率之内，所以忽略不计。
2：题干写了inflation rate below 5%,但正确选项C：特别符合大多老人需求的货品，涨价高于inflation rate。没有否定premise，跳出PREMISE范围
