【申友解析】
正确答案:C
题干:考虑到老年公民的福利,R国政府计划给所有65岁以上公民增加20%的养老金。而结果却是R国的老年公民在财政状况上并未有所好转。补充信息:于此同时,年通胀率在5%以下,而且该项政策是面向所有老年公民的。
题目:下面哪一个选项能够在考虑到补充信息的基础上解释目前R国计划执行的结果。
分析:引入他因解释型的正向逻辑,找出导致老年公民财政状况在增加养老金基础上未好转的具体原因。
选项A,老年公民的生活全部依赖政府养老金,假如这个条件成立,那么提高20%的养老金在5%的年通胀率影响下还是应该对财政状况有所帮助,反向逻辑,排除!
选项B,讨论R国银行兑现支票效率低下,无法解释目前面临的矛盾结果,无关属性,排除!
选项C,老年人生活用品价格涨幅远高于通胀率,是一个可能导致老年公民在增加收入后财政状况未变好的他因。正确!
选项D,增加养老金的计划实施在R国老年公民贫困率史上最高时期,与增加养老金不解决问题没有直接联系,无关属性,排除!
选项E,最近一次的养老金增加只是史上第二次的养老金增加计划。同样与老年公民财政状况未好转无关,排除!
