Prep 10 请教－A好像也对吧

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.

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.

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

(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.

J观点说：C地方出租录影带门店的生意94年比93年差了10K rental，原因是有一家V冒出来，他不仅租带子，还卖带子

B说：原因不是因为V，因为V只卖了4000个碟，离10K的举例远着呢

答案E肯定使能够undermine B的观点的

但是A也可以啊，V租的带子数大于卖的，卖的已经4000了，租的肯定也超过4000，那么加起来就8000了，离10K的举例就非常接进了，反观E的话，只是说frequently，但是究竟数字上能够向10K靠拢也不知道呢

为什么A不可以那？

Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken

选最好的！影响最大的

啊？还是不明白为什么这题A没有D好啊

能不能说详细一些呀？

谢谢

题目说的是 C 地区所有的 Video rental outlets 的 rentals decline ， 而 V 也是其中的一家，所以不能自身和自身对比，要的答案肯定是和其他因素，也就是 sold 有关的。

up

楼主一定是觉得A中的数字很有说服力吧，可是如果租的即使超过了也只有40001的话呢，那么就是加强了

E的话是由于这些买了的人租给了别人，所以说新开的这家店就是罪魁祸首，所以是对的
