(E)? since "then closed for the weekend"

一、The five specially ordered shipments sent out last week were sent out on Thursday.

周四送出了5件特殊订单

二、Last week, all of the shipments that were sent out on Friday consisted entirely of building supplies

周五送出的所有货品均有building supplies

三、and the shipping department then closed for the weekend

周末不再送货

四、our shipments were sent to Truax Construction last week, only three of which consisted of building supplies

上周送到Truax的订单,只有三单包含building supplies

如果考生能够把信息二和信息四结合在一起思考一下的话，那么

既然周五送出的全部都有building supplies，那么Truax收到的那一单不是bulding supplies 一定不是周五送出的。

再结合周末不送货这个条件，则可以得到这一单一定是周五以前送的

因此答案为E

那为什么不选A啊？如果按你这个分析思路的话
