Although the discount stores in Goreville's central shopping district are expected to close within five years as a result of competition from Spendless discount department store that just opened, those locations will not stay vacant for long. In the five years since the opening of Colson's, a nondiscount department store, a new store has opened at the location of every store that closed because it could not compete with Colson's. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument.

A Many customers of Colson's are expected to do less shopping there than they did before the Spendless store opened.
B Increasingly, the stores that have opened in the central shopping district since Colson's opened have been discount stores.
C At present, the central shopping district has as many stores operating in it as it ever had.
D Over the course of the next five years, it is expected that Goreville's population till grow at a faster rate than it has for the past several decades.
E Many stores in the central shopping district sell types of merchandise that are not available at either Spendless or Colson's.

不理解题意中对于两种商店的比较。

关于此题，GmatLa的大神是这样分析的：

情景：虽然由于刚开业的SpendLess折扣店的竞争，Goreville中心地段的折扣店将在5年内关门，但这些地方不会空着。从非折扣店Colson开业起的5年内，每个关门的店铺处都有一个新店会开张。

推理：由于前提和结论讨论的事件相同，所以本题为类比推理。推理结构为：
前提：Colson倒闭店之后位置没空着。
结论：SpendLess倒闭店之后位置也不会空着。

选题方式：类比推理一共具有两个评估方向，要么提到Colson或SpendLess，要么给出与这两个案例相平行等价的案例C。

选项分析：

A选项：Colson的顾客现在在Colson购买的东西比SpendLess开业前更少了。本选项提及了两个类比对象，但是其和结论的相关性不大。

B选项：Correct. 在Colson开业之后开的店中，开起来的店都是折扣店。本选项指出了类比对象的区别，即，以前能不空着是因为可以开折扣店，现在开折扣店已经没用了。属于CQ1：相似性问题。

C选项：目前，商业中心的店铺数量跟以前一样多。本选项给出了类比对象的相似点，只能加强推理。

D选项：接下来的5年，Goreville的人口增长率将会比之前的十几年增加。如果人口增加，那么商铺更加不会空着了。

E选项：很多中心区商店的商品在SpendLes或Colson店都买不到。本选项没有提及类比对象的不同点。
