Q7: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?
Many customers of Colson’s are expected to do less shopping there than they did before the SpendLess store opened.
Increasingly, the stores that have opened in the central shopping district since Colson’s opened have been discount stores.
At present, the central shopping district has as many stores operating in it as it ever had.
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.
Many stores in the central shopping district sell types of merchandise that are not available at either SpendLess or Colson’s.
尽管Goreville’s central shopping district 的一些打折商店可能会因为在SpendLess discount department store的开业而在5年内关门，但是这个地方不会留有空白。－－－－－要表达的意思是，同类的商店之间的竞争是惨烈的，一般不是你死就是我亡。
Colson’s, a nondiscount department store,一个非打折商店开门了，作者也认为，一个开业的商店都竞争不过Colson’s，都会关门
