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

E说,在R这个地方,老人的收入基本上来自孩子,但是只够他们过上舒适的生活。
如果E是对的,那么当政府给的钱多了,那么孩子给的钱就少了,老人的生活还是像原来一样,只够过上舒服的生活。生活质量并没有提高到哪去。解释了文中结论。

A说老人完全依靠政府的救济生活。那么如果是这样,政府给的钱多了,老人的生活条件应该变好。
B说银行没效率,钱到手的时间晚。但是题干说钱都准时送到老人手里了,所以这个不相干。
C说老人买的东西升价比通货膨胀的幅度大,但是题干说不考虑通货膨胀,所以不相干。
D说当老人的特别贫困时政府给的钱会增加,那老人生活水平会变好呀,与文章结论相悖。
