.       Financial success does not guarantee happiness. This claim is not mere proverbial wisdom but a fact verified by statistics. In a recently concluded survey, only one-third of the respondents who claimed to have achieved financial success reported that they were happy.

Which one of the following, if true, most strongly supports the conclusion drawn from the survey results?

(A) The respondents who reported financial success were, for the most part, financially successful.

(B) Financial success was once thought to be necessary for happiness but is no longer considered a prerequisite for happiness.

(C) Many of the respondents who claimed not to have achieved financial success reported that they were happy five years ago.

(D) Many of the respondents who failed to report financial success were in fact financially successful.（A）

(E) Most of the respondents who reported they were unhappy were in fact happy.

答案给的是A，但是我个人实在是想不清楚为什么给A。

B是无关选项。题目中的观点是财富对于快乐的充分性，这里说的是必要性。
C只有逆反命题才会是对的。这个不是。
D这个是weakening，它指出survey有问题。
E这个也是weakening。

A，指出survey中号称自己有钱的人，大部分是真的有钱，是对survey的结果能反映真实情况的一个支持，那么对于由这个survey而得到的结论，自然也是一个支持。
