问个逻辑题---新 Prep-1-77

Twenty
percent of the stores in Morganville's downtown shopping district will fail
within five years because they will be competing directly with the SaveMart
discount department store newly opened in East Morganville.  The downtown shopping district has lost
business at this rate before and has always completely rebounded.  Confidence that it will rebound again from
the losses it is now about to suffer is ill founded, however, because
__________.

A.
the stores likely to be put out of business by direct competition from SaveMart
are the downtown shopping district's anchor stores, on whose ability to draw
shoppers many of the other downtown stores depend

B.
the bus line that has long connected the downtown area of Morganville with East
Morganville has a tradition of carrying shoppers who reside 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 a business of the same kind
as had been there before

D.
SaveMart's business plan for the East Morganville
store is based on earning low profits, if any, during the first five years of
the store's existence

E.
it is conceivable that the downtown shopping district could shrink
substantially without collapsing altogether

这题选A吧 楼主看错答案了吧

因为XX所以confidence is ill founded(就是downtown business要over)

补上XX 就是被discount store淘汰出局的是anchor stores 别的stores依赖anchor stores吸引客户 anchor stores over了 别的stores也over 经济不能rebound 于是confidence ill founded
