答案是D. 道理很简单when the number of elderly Runagians below the poverty level reached an all-time high + the government increase by 20 percent the government-provided pension,实现了题目中的现状题目中的no better... than:(相同、一样)。哪里那么复杂,把人家children扯进来,还主观臆测会根据情况给与生活补贴,并精准地保证老人们的基本comfortable living不变。
got laywer's logic...gotta read the last choice more than twice...really tricky and confusing...supplement implies "a lot"...means that even after the pension increase, the older people could not be able to be finacially better off...they still need their children's support or supplement to reach the comfortable living level...the pension increase just lessen the burden of how much the children are gonna pay for their old parents...virtually, the older do not benefit from such a pension increase at all
