melody远行

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
这题C答案为什么不对呢？GWD给的答案是E。我记得在OG上好像选的是C？

个人理解：

题目里明确说了：“Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible” 这段时间内的通货膨胀被忽略，

C.They buy goods whose prices tend to rise especially fast in times of inflation
C还在说通货膨胀的事，自然就不对了。

C说的是这些老人在通胀时期买那些价格涨得尤其快的商品。 不要继续做自己的推理。 老人就算买那些价格高的，但是因为补贴涨了20%，你买的东西也可能价格高归高，但是也可能没超过20%，那老人经济条件还是可以改善的。   E：说的是子女也会补贴给老人，但是呢仅仅是能够维持他们comfortable的生活水平，啥意思呢：举例： 以前老人每个月有1200生活费，1000补贴，200孩子给；现在政府补贴多了20%，那么生活费到了1200了，对吧，但是子女一看政府给钱多了啊，那我就不给了吧。呵呵

说实话 我这也是事后想明白的，如果考试的时候刀光剑影的，还真是说不好能不能选出E呢 。
