A greater number of newspapers are sold in Town S than in Town T. Therefore, the citizens of Town S are better informed about major world events than are the citizens of Town T.
Each of the following, if true, weakens the conclusion above EXCEPT:
(A) Town S has a larger population than Town T.
(B) Most citizens of Town T work in Town S and buy their newspapers there.
(C) The average citizen of Town S spends less time reading newspapers than does the average citizen of Town T.
(D) A weekly newspaper restricted to the coverage of local events is published in Town S.（E）
(E) The average newsstand price of newspapers sold in Town S is lower than the average price of newspapers sold in Town T.
why not A？
我觉得A和E讲得是同一个道理啊。
报纸卖的便宜才卖的多和人多才卖的多，都是削弱。

注意原文结论是:TS居民对国际信息了解比TT居民更多.这里还有一个假设就是读报纸增加对信息的了解.这个假设不要质疑,因为以下选项也是按这个逻辑来的.
A正好说明报纸卖的多只是因人多,也就是说TS买报纸的人占总比例不一定更高,TS对国际信息了解不一定比TT更多.
E实际上是无关选项,完全不构成削弱.你管他是因为什么原因(价格)去买报纸.结论从未提及买报纸的意愿.
