72. Community activist: If Morganville wants to keep its central shopping district healthy, it should prevent the
opening of a huge SaveAll discount department store on the outskirts of Morganville. Records from other small
towns show that whenever SaveAll has opened a store outside the central shopping district of a small town,
within fi ve years the town has experienced the bankruptcies of more than a quarter of the stores in the shopping
district.
The answer to which of the following would be most useful for evaluating the community activist’s reasoning?
(A) Have community activists in other towns successfully campaigned against the opening of a SaveAll store
on the outskirts of their towns?
(B) Do a large percentage of the residents of Morganville currently do almost all of their shopping at stores in
Morganville?
(C) In towns with healthy central shopping districts, what proportion of the stores in those districts suffer
bankruptcy during a typical fi ve-year period?
(D) What proportion of the employees at the SaveAll store on the outskirts of Morganville will be drawn from
Morganville?
(E) Do newly opened SaveAll stores ever lose money during their fi rst fi ve years of operation?
B选项，如果这个M town的人基本都在中心的store买东西，而不是在其他地方买东西，如果引入S，可能这些人被吸引到outside of town，这样会导致中心街区的店破产，也有部分的道理吧。。作者: iwvers 时间: 2010-5-29 22:22
B选项是Do a large percentage of the residents of Morganville currently do almost all of their shopping 【at stores in Morganville】?
注意一下部分：
central shopping district
SaveAll has opened a store outside the central shopping district

B无关吧。。argument是 要维持healthy 就要阻止S.A store 。知道买不买东西和这个argument是没关系的。作者: YINDAPENG 时间: 2010-6-2 22:12
原文说开一个新店不好,因为会使别的沿街的店在5年内倒闭...仅此而已
b 你b说这地方的居民是否在这里买大多数的生活用品,这原文提到了么?
c c给您模拟了一个和这个地方1模1样的环境下的例子,你能不选他吗作者: sea3ufooio 时间: 2010-6-3 22:13
