E, 按试养老金涨20%也不够.所以没用.

怎么看都是C好呀,Inflation in the
intervening period has been negligible, 就是政府没考虑INFLATION的影响,那里就算是PENTION多了,INFLATION高了, 涨PENSION也没用呀. 那位解释一下. 谢谢!

楼上的XDJM们是不是把题看反了. many of them are on better off financially than they were before the incerase, in large part because___ => 他们现在的经济情况比以前好了, 主要是因为___. 所以答案应该是说government的pension increase怎么怎么有用, 不是怎么怎么没用.

我选C.

E語意上說明即便政府調漲小孩也付不出來

C的部分太偏頗且未敘述該IN TIMES OFINFALTION 是在這兩年

且說不定物價上漲還未超過20%漲幅

支持E

应该是加完钱后没什么变化的话，应该经济情况差不多

现在情况是：现在比加好钱还要好

问为啥

E：因为小孩开始赚钱

 "many of them are on better off financially than they were before the incerase"

agree"他们现在的经济情况比以前好了"....mentioned before~~~

Answer:

"In Runagia children typically supplement the income of elderly parent, but only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living."

so the supplement makes elderly parent a comfortable living.

conclusion:

a comfortable living with supplement and pension make elderly parent on better off financially.
