prep-87请教

Two years ago, the government of Runagia increased by 20 percent the government-provided pensions paid to Runagians over 65.  The aim of the increase was to stimulate the economy in the rural regions of the country, where most pension recipients live.  Statistics, however, show that there has been no increase in economic activity in those regions since then, but that there has been noticeably more spending in the urban areas.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain why the increase resulted in the unintended state of affairs described?
A. Until the pensions were increased, many Runagians over 65 in rural regions had been receiving support from their children who live in urban areas.
B. The pensions were increased when the number of people below the poverty level in rural areas of Runagia reached an all-time high.
C. City-dwellers in Runagia rarely travel to rural regions of the country.
D. The Runagian postal system is so inefficient that it can take up to three weeks for pension checks to reach recipients in rural areas.
E. On average, the pensions were higher in rural than in urban areas before the increase.
答案是A,这道题的思路无法理清~~请帮忙讲解一下~~~谢谢Whichof the following most logically completes the passage?

Concernedabout the financial well-being of its elderly citizens, the government ofRunagia decided two years ago to increase by 20 percent the government-providedpension paid to all Runagians over 65. Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible, and theincrease has been duly received by all eligible Runagians.  Nevertheless, many of them are no better offfinancially 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 apension check
C.they buy goodswhose prices tend to rise especially fast in times of inflation
D.the pension was increased when the number of elderly Runagians below thepoverty level reached an all-time high
E. in Runagia children typicallysupplement the income of elderly parents, but only by enough to provide themwith a comfortable living
这道题没为什么不选C,而答案是E这两题都差不多,意思没理解好,解释题和填空题的思路一直都不清晰 有哪位指点一下做此类型题的技巧~~~~~

第一题的内容大致是:政府本来是想通过 increase pension 给老人来刺

激rural 地方的经济,因为大多数receive pension 的老人都在这个rural 地

区,但结果是rural地区的经济没有得到刺激,但是urban 地区的经济反而得

到刺激(more spending in urban areas).

解释的原因这如A所说,在没有得到increase pension之前,那些在rural地区

的老人是通过他们在urban地区的孩子还救济的。现在政府帮助了减轻了那些

孩子给老人补贴的负担,当然这些孩子的开销空间就变大了,所以导致more

spending in the urban areas。
