单选题 149 people were aboard Flight 222 when it arrived at Los Angeles from New York City with Chicago as the only intermediate stop. How many people first boarded the flight in Chicago?
(1)170 people were aboard the flight when it left New York City.
(2)23 people from the flight deplaned in Chicago and did not reboard.

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] (1)不充分,因为不知道飞机在芝加哥停的时候,下了多少人,所以也就无法判断又上了多少人;(2)也不充分,因为不知道当飞机离开纽约时,飞机上有多少人,所以无法判断飞机在芝加哥停的时候上了多少人;(1)+(2)充分,设最初在芝加哥上飞机.的人有27个,则根据题意可得:170+x-23=149→x=2。
