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.

答案是E, 我选择的是A. 请问大神A错在哪了呢？ 我认为E提到朋友之间互借是导致rental 下降的原因，但原文是要说Videorama 是导致video rental 下降的原因啊？ 想不通。。。

"in addition to renting videos, ALSO SOLD THEM CHEAPLY." To weaken Brad's objection means to strengthen Jennifer's argument that the decline is because of the opening of Videorama. E is the only reason could explain Jennifer's logic.
