Travel agents are market intermediaries who make their living by gather
Ing, organizing,and dispensing information about travel-related services
that is not readily available to most consumers through new information
technologies , such as the internet much of this information can now be
made directly available to consumers demand for the services of travel
agents will be drastically reduced
Which of the following ,if true , most seriously weakens the argument ?
1) Travel agents routinely use the internet and other new information tech-
nologies as sources for the information they obtain for their customers .
2) The amount of information available through the internet and other new
information technologies is increasing faster than the capabilities of
most consumers to process it
3) Many people use travel-related services, such as airlines and hotels
without consulting a travel agent .
4) The people who currently use the services of travel agents are also
those most likely to gain access to new information technologies
5) The internet and other new information technologies are currently used
by a relatively small proportion of the population
本题答案:B,
可是,D错在哪了?讨论……
这题句子很怪,可能没有编辑好。
我觉的意思大致是,TA是一帮信息贩子,但是现在通过inter网可以查到很多信息。结论应该是 demand for the services of travel agents will be drastically reduced、
B说:不能减,信息太多,我们需要这样的人来帮我们处理收集信息。
D说:那些使用TA,也同时使用网络获得信息。这样的现象不能说明我们不能没有TA
D可以是TA消失的某一过程中的现象,相比B更加强烈。
另外,我觉得D讨论的是"currently",而题目中问的是将来的可能性。而B当中的capability是相对长期不变的。
D supports the argument.

the question is asking weaken. so in E, it tells why the TA won't reduce. that is, there are small prpoportion of population use internet. so the argument that the TA will reduce is weaken.
