In Washington County,attendance at the movies is just large enough for the cinema operators to make modest profits.The size of the county's population is stable and is not expected to increase much.Yet there are investors ready to double the number of movie screen in the country within five years, and they are predicting solid profits both for themselves and for the established cinema operators.
which of the following ,if true about Washington Conunty,most helps to provide a justification for the investor's prediction?

答案是A：over the next ten years,people in teenage years,the prime moviegoing age,will be a rapidly growing proportion of the county's population.

题目中说5年内加倍屏幕数量，可是A忠却说的是在接下来的10年中去看电影的人会很快增加。

E The sale of snacks and drinks in cinemas accounts for a steadily growing share of most cinema operators' profits.这个选项也可以解释利润的增长啊？有些迷惑求高人解释下

这个问题的结论关键在于：The county's population is not expected to increase. However, they plan to double the number of movie screens.

prephase一下哈，题目是期望新增加的movie screens带来利润增长，进一步推测选项应该是关于“热衷于看电影的消费群体的增长，此增长是在总人口数不变的情况下，人口结构发生转变。”这样至少保证供给和需求同比增加。

E选项的讲述虽然是涉及利润增长，但是无法解释“the increase number of movie screen”。

关注结论。

但是那个10年和5年的问题怎么解释啊？

A：over the next ten years,people in teenage years,the prime moviegoing age,will be a rapidly growing proportion of the county's population.
哇..研究的好细哇~~~饭饭是这样理解哇~
题目中只是讲“predicting solid profits”，没有将“annually”，也没有将到第5年具体对收益有什么要求。
选项中讲的是“over the next ten years”，而不是“after**”或是“in**”，这个人口结构的变化应该是有个量变的过程存在，所以说，有这个量变过程的存在，可能在5年这个点开始供求有所平衡了以至于可以盈利了呢~
这个饭饭就是根据市场营销中的营销预测考虑的，不是消费人群人口结构也是很重要的影响因素咩。

不知道讲述清楚没.....感觉其他选项相对这个选项....差太远了...
