TTGWD2-Q28
Fearing competition from stores that rent video games for home use, owners of stores that sell video games lobbied for protective legislation. Citing as a precedent legislation that postpones home film rentals until one year after general release to theaters, the video sellers proposed as an equitable solution a plan that would postpone rental of any video game until it had been available for sale for one year.
Which of the following, if true, would support an objection by owners of video rental stores that the fairness of the proposed legislation is not supported by the precedent cited?
A. Although the daily rental fee for home use of films is generally the same as that for video games, the average rental period for a video game is longer than that for a film.
B. Film rentals for home use tend to particularly strong during the first year after a film has been made available for both sale and rental at video rental stores.
C. Most people are interested in playing only the latest video games and tend to find video games that have been available for over a year unappealing whether they have played them before or not, whereas films maintain their appeal far longer after their release.
D. People who rent video games tend to play them by themselves, whereas people who rent films invite friends and neighbors to watch.
E. A slight decline in revenues from films that have been recently released in theaters has been attributed to the growing market for rentals of films for home use.
为什么选C呢？想不明白，谢谢！
谢谢阿！我在看题的时候，一直不明白那么卖video game的是干什么的，和做题有什么关系。。
A. Although the daily rental fee for home use of films is generally the same as that for video games, the average rental period for a video game is longer than that for a film.
乱比，无关。
B. Film rentals for home use tend to particularly strong during the first year after a film has been made available for both sale and rental at video rental stores.
题目在类比电影VS游戏的关系，这里只说了电影，没谈到游戏，无关。
C. Most people are interested in playing only the latest video games and tend to find video games that have been available for over a year unappealing whether they have played them before or not, whereas films maintain their appeal far longer after their release.
这个对，但容易被误以为是支持原来的建议——限制游戏光盘一年后才可以租赁。
玩游戏的只对最新的游戏感兴趣，如果采取限制游戏光盘一年后才可以租赁的建议，那游戏可能都没人租了。
但电影队人的吸引力，持续的时间很长，因此两者没有可比性。
D. People who rent video games tend to play them by themselves, whereas people who rent films invite friends and neighbors to watch.
迷惑选项，租游戏光盘的租来只自己玩，但租电影的会招朋友一起分享。
即使租游戏光盘的租来只自己玩，但还是影响了sell store的生意，分流了他们的顾客，因此支持了sell store的建议——限制游戏关盘一年后才可以租赁。
E. A slight decline in revenues from films that have been recently released in theaters has been attributed to the growing market for rentals of films for home use.
无关。
