 Demographers doing research for an international economics newsletter claim that the average per capita income in the country of Kuptala is substantially lower than that in the country of Bahlton. They also claim, however, that whereas poverty is relatively rare in Kuptala, over half the population of Bahlton lives in extreme poverty. At least one of the demographers claims must, therefore be wrong.

　　The argument above is most vulnerable to which of the following criticisms?

　　(A) It rejects an empirical claim about the average per capita incomes in the two countries without making any attempt to discredit that claim by offering additional economic evidence.
　　(B) It treats the vague term "poverty" as though it had a precise and universally accepted meaning.
　　(C) It overlooks the possibility that the number of people in the two countries who live in poverty could be the same even though the percentages of the two populations that live in poverty differ markedly.
　　(D) It fails to show that wealth and poverty have the same social significance in Kuptala as in Bahlton.
　　(E) It does not consider the possibility that incomes in Kuptala, unlike those in Bahiton, might all be very close to the country s average per capita income.
 

为什么选E不选B？

B是说poverty的解读很笼统。但是不管是不是那样，只要定义用在两个国家是一样的就行了。
在数学里，average和variance并不是一定成正比的。答案E就是解释这个道理。
