PREP 1-10


Jennifer:  Video rental outlets in Centerville together handled 10,000 fewer video rentals in 1994 than in 1993.  The decline in rentals was probably due almost entirely to the February 1994 opening of Videorama, the first and only video rental outlet in the area that, in addition to renting videos, also sold them cheaply.

Brad:  There must be another explanation:  as you yourself said, the decline was on the order of 10,000 rentals.  Yet Videorama sold only 4,000 videos in 1994.

Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the force of the objection that Brad presents to Jennifer's explanation?

(A) In 1994 Videorama rented out more videos than it sold.
(B) In 1994 two new outlets that rent but that do not sell videos opened in Centerville.
(C) Most of the video rental outlets in Centerville rent videos at a discount on certain nights of the week.
(D) People often buy videos of movies that they have previously seen in a theater.
(E) People who own videos frequently loan them to their friends.

OA is E.   E我同意,但不选A的原因是什么呢?请教一下各位

少了10000次的租借是包括V这家商店的。

A是无关对比,而且也不能说明什么,卖了4000,租的比卖的多,试想,如果租的是5000,是不能weaken的,因为少租了10000。

我不太会讲,希望你明白。

为你加油!

我不认为Video rental outlets in Centerville together handled 10,000 fewer video rentals in 1994 than in 1993表示的是'少了10000次的租借是包括V这家商店的',因为together我以为是C's total decline.Anyway,这只是个人的理解。

闹闹的解释我看懂了(开心你又回到坛子里搭救俺们了),A是maybe yes or no的weaken.即使rental:5000+sold:4000=9000,还是不能解释为什么少了10000.

嗯? 我们说的是一个意思啊。

Together是意味着整个地区的店下降了10000次,那整个地区当然是包括A店、B店、C店、D店和V这家店的(题后面说了the first and only video rental outlet in the area)所以V这家店肯定是在C这个地区里面的啊。

正因为整体下降是包括V的,才使得A不能削弱削弱。
