GWD-8-Q19: GWD-2-12 Which of the following most logically completes the passage? Concerned about financial well-being of its elderly citizens, the government of Runagia decided two years ago to increase by 20 percent the government-provided pension paid to all Runagians over 65. Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible, and the increase has been duly received by all eligible Runagians. Nevertheless, many of them are no better off financially than they were before the increase, in large part because ________. A. They rely entirely on the government pension for their income B. Runagian banks are so inefficient that it can take up to three weeks to cash a pension check C. They buy goods whose prices tend to rise especially fast in times of inflation D. The pension was increased when the number of elderly Runagians below the poverty level reached an all-time high E. In Runagia children typically supplement the income of elderly parents, but only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living 答案给E。可是原文没有说别的补助使老人的生活达到一个平均的水平,政府就会相应的减少补助。那么政府应该是照样给补助的,那么E选项的话,不是使老人的生活水平提高了吗? 而C,原文说通胀不计,没说是老人常买的东西的通胀吧?,那选项说老人常买的东西通胀很大,不是可以使得老人生活水平下降吗? 哪位NN来解答下啊!! |
