3. There is relatively little room for growth in the overall carpet market, which is tied to the size of the population. Most who purchase carpet do so only
once or twice, first in their twenties or thirties, and then perhaps again in their fifties or sixties. Thus as the population ages, companies producing carpet
will be able to gain market share in the carpet market only through purchasing competitors, and not through more aggressive marketing.
Which one of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the conclusion above?
(A) Most of the major carpet producers market other floor coverings as well.
(B) Most established carpet producers market several different brand names and varieties, and there is no remaining niche in the market for new brands to fill.
(C) Two of the three mergers in the industry’s last ten years led to a decline in profits and revenues for the newly merged companies.
(D) Price reductions, achieved by cost-cutting in production, by some of the dominant firms in the carpet market are causing other producers to leave the market altogether.
(E) The carpet market is unlike most markets in that consumers are becoming increasingly resistant to new patterns and styles.
看了一下解析，E这句话的意思是，carpet market的消费者们是抵抗new patterns and styles的。
我当时的理解是，"in that"修饰的是“most markets”, 所以句子意思是，carpet market的消费者是不排斥new patterns and styles的。后来想了一下，如果in that解释为“因为”，这句话就跟解析的意思是一样的。没想明白，如果将 "in that"看成是修饰“most markets”，这样有什么错吗？请教各位啦！
