In the United States, of the people who moved from one state to another when they retired, the percentage who retired to Florida has decreased by three percentage points over the past ten years. Since many local businesses in Florida cater to retirees, this decline is likely to have a noticeably negative economic effect on these businesses.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
- Florida attracts more people who move from one state to another when they retire than does any other state.
- The number of people who move out of Florida to accept employment in other states has increased over the past ten years.
- There are far more local businesses in Florida that cater to tourists than there are local businesses that cater to retirees.
- The total number of people who retired and moved to another state for their retirement has increased significantly over the past ten years.
- The number of people who left Florida when they retired to live in another state was greater last year than it was ten years ago.
虽然通过排除法,答案肯定是A,但是我还是觉得A并没有和文中结论想冲突啊!即使Florida比其他州吸引的人要多,但是他本身在过去一个decade里吸引retirees的数量是减少了,这当然会对以来retirees的local businesses受影响,这个结论没有错啊……
另外,我想问一下关于CD22,也就是GWD题的搜索格式,也许这些题目之前有过讨论,但是可能搜索格式不对找不到,请达人指点!
谢谢! |
