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
正確答案是E
我選 D 政府增加pension的同時，需要被補助的老人也增加了，所以有些人沒有better
off。 這樣不是很合理嗎？
我不懂為什麼是E耶
有高手可以解答一下嗎?
謝拉:D
