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 ________ .

1. the stores like 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.
2. the bus line that has long connected the downtown are of Morganville with EastMorganville has a tradition of carrying shoppers who reside in EastMorganville into downtown Morganville to shop.
3. when the downtown shopping district has rebounded before, the business premises of a failed business were typically taken over by a business of same kind as had been there before
4. SaveMart's business plan for the EastMorgalvill store is based on earning low profits, if any, during the first five years of the store's existence.
5. it is conceivable that the downtown shopping district could shrink substantially without collapsing altogether
答案为1，请教各位大侠，题目的意思。

我翻译一下：20%要关了，因为东边开了个新的打折店；以前也按这个20%的比例倒闭过但是都rebound了，所以这次还会rebound. 问weaken.

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.
anchor stores是主力商店。这个主力商店能为其他的downtown商店吸引客户。看来以前这个AS存在的时候，其他的商店也都借力于它，现在他由于打折店的开张要倒闭了，那其他的商店也跟着完蛋了。因此rebound很难。削弱。
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
支持有车接客人来，会rebound
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 不明白这个选项呢。。。谁来解释一下，我选了C。rebound的店是和原来的店一个类形的。是因为我们不知道将被关的店是什么类型所以这个选项对结论的作用没法判断吗？
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无关吧？
E. it is conceivable that the downtown shopping district could shrink substantially without collapsing altogether无关
