PREP 请教一题

10.       (25259-!-item-!-188;#058&001774)   

Jennifer:  Video rental outlets in Centerville together handled 10,000 fewer video rentals in 1994 than in 1993.  The decline in rentals was probably
   due almost entirely to the February 1994 opening of Videorama, the first and only video rental outlet in the area that, in addition to renting videos, also sold them cheaply. 珍妮说C音像店94年租碟少了10000是由于新开的V音像店

Brad:  There must be another explanation:  as you yourself said, the decline was on the order of 10,000 rentals.  Yet Videorama sold only 4,000 videos in 1994.布莱德说,可能有其他的解释,就像你说的少了10000,可是94年V只出售了4000.

Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the force of the objection that Brad presents to Jennifer's explanation?

问 削弱布莱德反对珍妮的力量

(A) In 1994 Videorama rented out more videos than it sold.

(B) In 1994 two new outlets that rent but that do not sell videos opened in Centerville.

(C) Most of the video rental outlets in Centerville rent videos at a discount on certain nights of the week.

(D) People often buy videos of movies that they have previously seen in a theater.

(E) People who own videos frequently loan them to their friends.

我选的是A,答案是E.

我分析,Jennifer是把责任推在V店上,可是Brad说是其他原因.问削弱Brad的立场.答案 A是 我认为说明是V的原因, 因为他租的碟比销售的多,所以导致C店租的人少了.削弱了Brad的反对的力量,加强了Jennifer的看法.

E说人们经常把自己的碟借给朋友,那么不就是加强了Brad的看法,存在其他原因.削弱了Jnifer的看法说是V店新开的原因?

和问题问的就不符合啦

请哪位NN解释一下,我目前思路就困在这里了

我觉得这个题里面有个小小的迷惑之处,有点象数学题.

A说租的比卖的多,卖了4000,如果租了5000呢,确实比4000多,但是加起来还是比10000少,不能weaken

E说买的人会经常免费借给别人,这是对租赁的最大打击,因为不要钱,自然有更大的市场,会极大影响租赁
