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 nondiscount 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?
102. Theater Critic: The play La Finestrina, now at Central Theater, was written in Italy in the eighteenth century. The director claims that this production is as similar to the original production as is possible in a modern theater. Although the actor who plays Harlequin the clown gives a performance very reminiscent of the twentieth-century American comedian Groucho Marx, Marx's comic style was very much within the comic acting tradition that had begun in sixteenth-century Italy. The considerations given best serve as part of an argument that A. modern audiences would find it hard to tolerate certain characteristics of a history accurate B. Groucho Marx once performed the part of the character Harlequin in La Finstrina. C. in the United States the training of actors in the twentieth century is based on principles that do not differ radically from those that underlay the training of actors in eighteenth-century Italy. D. the performance of the actor who plays Harlequin in La Finestrina does not serve as evidence against the director's claim. E. the director of La Finetrina must have advised the actor who plays Harlequin to model his performance on comic performance of Groucho Marx. 答案是D。俺就实在不明白这个正确答案呀 104(又是很不幸地连在一起的两题)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 fo Colson's , a nondiscount 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 ture, 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 fo 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 答案是B,OG给出的解释是说“since the reasoning relies on a presumed similarity between the two cases, any information that brings to light a relevant dissimilarity would weaken the argument.",为什么要找出dissimilarity呢?不解不解
题干说:作者的想法最好的支持了以下哪个观点? 我的理解是"the consideration"是指作者认为“Although the actor who plays Harlequin the clown gives a performance very reminiscent of the twentieth-century American comedian Groucho Marx, Marx's comic style was very much within the comic acting tradition that had begun in sixteenth-century Italy.", 所以结论应该是“那个演员的表演并没有违反导演的意思。”
