 又不明白了.....

 

10.   (25259-!-item-!-188;#058&001774)

 

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E 这个无法削弱Brad阿~ 人们借vedio给朋友 难道在94年大家忽然开始热情了？？

我选A阿~  Videorama 的生意包括rent和sell 虽然他sell了4000 但它可能借出去6000 正好是centervill 丢掉的生意阿~

..... 我是不是又犯糊涂了~~~ 望纠正！！！！

LZ注意,A是说rent和sell之间的数量比较.可是它们二这之间的关系与rent本身在94和93年的比较无关!

另外,你好象错误理解了V和C的关系.C是指地名,但V是指C这个地方的一个店(outlet),所以不存在V借出的6000是C丢掉的问题.---因为都是在C这个地方的事情.

Situation: rent方面94年比93年少了10,000.新出现了一个即rent又sell cheap的店;94年这个店sell的数量是4000.

只有E对.(人们热情不热情你不用管,因为CR的题目是if true原则)

我觉得此题的误区在第一句话：C地区录像带出租整个行业的出租量1994年比1993年上了1000；而原因是C区新开了第一家即可以出租又可以低价出售的V店

题目并没有并不是两家不同店铺的出租量的比较，而是整体与部分的比较。因为V店的出租量也是计算在C区整体行业出租量里的。所以只有E能够解释。

outlet  应该是“出路，渠道的意思”

精辟！我一开始就看错了，以为这个Video Rental Outlets是一个连锁店的名字，其实是指整个Centerville的店，自然也包括Videorama。

整个行业的量都小了，只有从消费者行为上面寻找原因了。。。
