86.(24835-!-item-!-188;#058&001244)



Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

Concerned about the 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



答案选E 但是我怎么看都应该是C 啊？我记得OG里有过一道类似的题？？？阿门，一定要有高手帮我解答下

唉唉 OG里的那题明确说明现在发生了通货膨胀。。所以商品价格上升了 会削弱pension increase的效果。
这题明确说inflation可忽略。C说商品在inflation时候很贵，但原文里没有发生通货啊。所以不对。
D说明老人的一部分生活费是基本由孩子出的  
money ftom chidren+money from gov组成了老人的钱 如果gov给多了，孩子因为only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living，会相应减少一些钱     因此总的来说老人钱没有多拿

我觉得C还是合理的，因为inflation可以忽略不计，情况可以是，一部分good涨价涨得厉害，一部分可以跌啊。然而那些老人买的东西都是涨价涨得厉害的那些。E也有点合理，但是那些孩子继续给老人钱，pension又增加了，financially为什么没有一点改善呢？我觉得新Prep这里的CR有点怪。
