178. Although it was expected that workers under forty would show hostility to the plan, the research report indicates that both younger and the older people approve of governmental appropriations for Social Security.
(A) younger and the older people
(B) younger people and the older
(C) the younger and the older people
(D) younger and older people
(E) people who are younger and those who are older

key, I think it should be C

the younger and the older people  冠词the表示特指。而句意中没有这个意思。句中是泛指

这帮年轻的和老的人在前面不是以经提到了么(黑体的工人们)，由於the younger and the older people  指的就是前面的那帮人，所以我选了有THE的，各位大虾指点迷津？

C) the younger and the older people

both( the younger) and (the older people )如果这样并列也不对称吧？
加了the 就已经可以表示了，再加people是不是太累赘了呢？可以说 both the younger and the older. people在这里已经多余了、
D both (younger) and (older ) people 这样是不是更好一点呢、

你说的有道理，但是我还是有点死牛筋，觉得加THE是因为前面提到过。
