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 thelocation 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. B

(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 storesin the central shopping district sell types of merchandise that are not available at either SpendLess or Colson’s.


这一题的题干是什么意思，看了很多帖子，还是不懂题干讲的是什么意思？

C店出现--》旁边的店倒闭--》倒闭店址有新折扣店开

S店出现--》旁边的店倒闭--------------》推断店址也会有新店开

这里暗含了一个assumption，折扣店的竞争力比非折扣店强。
   
这里意思是C非折扣开了，旁边的店竞争不过，倒了，但是马上有新的点开；以此为前提推出S折扣开了，其他店倒闭了，也会有别的店重开，如何削弱会有新店重开的结论。  原文用C和S作对比，但是如何使C和S不能对比呢？ 如果C旁边新开的店是折扣店，意味着只有折扣店才能与C非折扣竞争。那么如果这样的话，S开后倒闭的店就不会重开了，因为S本身为折扣店，所以没有其他折扣店可以和它竞争。

从自己的千行上找的，忘记是自己写的还是别人写的了
