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.

看了解释还是不明白。OG的解释是类比不成立、求指导。那即使B项成立，也有可能因为Spendless而倒闭的那些店的地方将来开起来Nondiscount店，这样类比不是成立了吗？

用一句老话叫：老革命遇到新问题。就是过去的经验不一定适用新情况。过去反复开张的都是折扣店，是因为竞争对手是个非折扣店，但这次竞争对是也是个折扣店，那么原来的结论就不成立了。
至于，LZ猜测将来会开张非折扣店，那我只好说，对不起，题目没给出这种信息，那只是LZ猜测，不是逻辑。
