I07. 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 nondiscount department store, a new store has opened at the location 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. lncreasingly,  the stores that have opened in the central shopping district since Colson's opened have been discount stores.

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 stores in the central shopping district sell types of merchandise that are not available ateither SpendLess or Colson's.

答案是B，看完之后还是还不懂。希望牛牛帮我理清下思路

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.   G将要在5

年内倒闭。因S，但是空位不会持续很久。
然后举例类比：
In the five years since the opening of Colson's, a nondiscount

department store, a new store has opened at the location of every

store in the shopping district that closed because it could not

compete with Colson's.   C的出现，导致很多店关门。但是还是有新店

马上接着开。

要weaken 的话那就得指出类比的问题

B选项指出C的出现。后来开的店是跟C业务不冲突的店。
故类比不一定成立

有点懂了，可是题目中并没有假定discount和nondiscount不会发生竞争哎。。。
