104.Although the discount stores in Goreville’s central shopping district are expected to close within five years as a result of competition from a SpendLess discount department store that just opened, those locations will not stay vacant for long. In the five years since the opening of Colson’s, a non-discount department store, a new store has opened at thelocation of every store in the shopping district that closed because it could not compete with Colson’s.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

(A) Many customers of Colson’s are expected to do less shopping there than they did before the SpendLess store opened.

(B) Increasingly, the stores that have opened in the central shopping district since Colson’s opened have been discount stores. B

(C) At present, the central shopping district has as many stores operating in it as it ever had.

(D) Over the course of the next five years, it is expected that Goreville’s population will grow at a faster rate than it has for the past several decades.

(E) Many storesin the central shopping district sell types of merchandise that are not available at either SpendLess or Colson’s.

我找的conclusion是红字部分，但答案是B，我认为答案正好strength了这个conclusion。所以我想我是否把conclusion找错了？？
求大神解释！
谢谢

结论对了。。。。因为说过去因为一个Colson’s non-discount store, 就会有一个新的商店开张。。所以根据这个，他说现在有商店倒闭，新的也快很快开。

但是一个区别，现在的商店时discount store-SpendLess discount department。如果在过去，因为Colson’s而开的商店都是discount store的话，就可以避免和Colson竞争。新的spendless就是discount store, 所以再开新的discount store也是不能生存的。

B选项就说明这个问题。

这体挺绕的。。

虽然A现在因为B倒闭，但5年内A还会再出现（结论）

推理的依据 C之前因为D而倒闭，5年之内C又出现了（前提）

弱化：推理的依据中 5年内出现的不是C，而是C-

可不可以帮我解释一下a new store has opened at thelocation of every store in the shopping district that closed because it could not compete with Colson’s.这个句子的中心在那里啊~我怎么看也看不懂！谢谢！

我就试着翻译下，大家拍砖！
句子的主语是a new store
谓语是  has opened
第一层状语 at the location
其中of every store in the shopping district是作为定语修饰 location 。
that closed because it could not compete with Colson’s 是定语从句跳跃修饰every store in the shopping district。该部分可以还原为every store in the shopping district  closed  because it  could not compete with Colson’s

整句简化为在5年之内新的C在原来C倒闭的地方开业了。C倒闭的原因是由于D. 定语从句很多时候可以拆成2句来翻译，我们就会更好理解.更准确地说，定语从句应该叫关系从句。她表示和所修饰名词的一种关系。
例如 he was sent to the hosipital where he died. 不能理解成他被送到了那个让他死地医院。而应该翻译为他被送去医院，然后他在那医院挂了。

私以为这道题的最困难的地方就是长难句和statement的结构。
我先分解一下statement的结构。就是说，原来性质为discount（下面简称dis）的商店们由于S的开门而倒闭（S的性质与倒闭的商店一致）。但这些门面不会空太久，支持的理由是，这些门面会由受到C的挤压而倒闭的商店来代替。原文中C的性质是nondiscount（以下简称nondis）那么受到他排挤而倒闭的商店的性质就是nondis。

来简化一下，就是说结论是，在空出来的地皮上开的商店的性质是nondis。然后题目要求削弱。然后就是B选项中的，新开的商店的性质是dis，而不是nondis。
我上述的推论依据是来自于OG13答案解释中的这句话：but those locations will not be vacant long,for new stores have replaced all those that closed because of the opening five years ago of a Colson nondiscount department store.
我也不知道对不对，急切希望大家的指导。。。
