NN coming

.       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.



the stantard answer is C, while mine is E.


who can give a explanation.

题目说尽管有人没有被统计,但basic statistical portrait of the nation 是准确的, 不是说人口数准确的.所以C是对的.即现在的统计数的描述应该与全部被计算的描述一样,用数学表达一下/(P+R)=X%P/(X%P+X%R) 所以没被计算的比率都为1-X%.

恕我愚昧,PORTRAIT为何意思呢,表示的是两者占总人数的比例吗,


那这样理解的话是不是意味着国民只被划分为穷人和富人了呢,如B所言
