Q104.Although the discount stores in Goreville’s central shopping district are expected to close within five years as a result of competition from a 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 non-discount department store, a new store has opened at the

location of every store in the shopping district 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 will 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.

答案说是B，原因是那个C旁边开的是折扣店，但这个能削弱题干么？题干没说S旁边开得是什么店啊，可能有另一种形式的店存在，使这些店有足够的竞争力啊？跪求

这句话就告诉我们S旁边开的是discount店啊~
整段话，作者就是想用一个例子推出另一个例子，那么要削弱它就是找这两个例子的不同性，不可比性。

是的啊，问题作者想说这些店是要倒闭的，就像c店旁边的非打折店要倒闭的一样啊

我也正在看这个题目也有些困惑想跟大家讨论一下说下我自己的观点。。
case1：although， sdd(spendless discont)开了---旁边的店关了（discount）----预计还会开新店。
case2：被C(nondincont) 竞争过的店后来也开了新店。
削弱case1 解释2个不不同：
如果case2开的新店是discount 肯定更有竞争力就是dis和nondis的较量了。但是这个不能套在case1中因为sdd已经是spendless discont了。。如果ssd旁边再开跟case2一样的 discount 就不一定会怎么样了。
望指正。

我觉得这个B选项就是告诉我们一个发生在case2中的现象的一个可能的解释但是这个解释不能套在case1中。。。。。。。。。。。。所以两个不能类比解释了两者不同也就是削弱了case1.
