Which of the followingcompletes the argument below.
Twenty percent of the stores in Morganville's downtownshopping district will fail within five years because they will be competingdirectly with the Savemart discount department store newly opened in EastMorganville. The downtown shopping district has lost business at this ratebefore and has always completey rebounded. Confidence that it will reboundagain from the losses it is now about to suffer is ill founded, however,because _____________________

B) the bus line that has long connected the downtown area ofMorganville with East Morganville has a tradition of carrying shoppers whoreside in East Morganville into downtown Morganville to shop
C) when the downtown shopping district has rebounded before,the business premises of a failed business were typically taken over by abusiness of the same kind as had been there before

[size=14.007px]第二题Ron解释了 “ (c) gives us no reason to believe that the same pattern won't be followed again this time. in other words, (c) just says "here's the way it happened the last few times" -- but there's nothing here that precludes the possibility that the same thing could happen yet again.”
[size=14.007px]我的问题是如果把第二题里排除C选项的逻辑也用在第一题里，那么岂不是也不能假设正确B选项里的trend会持续？
提前感谢大家了！
