Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?
Twenty percent of the stores in Morganville's downtown shopping district will fail within five years because they will be competing directly with the SaveMart discount department store newly opened in East Morganville. The downtown shopping district has lost business at this rate before and has always completely rebounded. Confidence that it will rebound again from the losses it is now about to suffer is ill founded, however, because __________.
A. the stores likely to be put out of business by direct competition from SaveMart are the downtown shopping district's anchor stores, on whose ability to draw shoppers many of the other downtown stores depend
B. the bus line that has long connected the downtown area of Morganville with East Morganville has a tradition of carrying shoppers who reside in East Morganville into downtown Morganville to shop
C. when the downtown shopping district has rebounded before, the business premises of a failed business were typically taken over by a business of the same kind as had been there before
D. SaveMart's business plan for the East Morganville store is based on earning low profits, if any, during the first five years of the store's existence
E. it is conceivable that the downtown shopping district could shrink substantially without collapsing altogether
答案选A,我选C。
当时选择C的时候确实觉得有点问题,因为题目并没有说是哪些商店受到了亏损,也没有提到关于type的问题。但是对于A也是很困惑。
A的意思是说只有那些酒厂才能够从亏损中恢复过来吗?那些酒厂有能力从别的商店将顾客吸引过来。
但是题目有和过去做比较,说过去可以恢复,但现在不可以恢复了,而A选项没有说明过去啊。
困惑!请指教! |
