10.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.
为什么答案是E而不是A呢？Centerville是城市名吗？Videorama是在这个城市里的店吗？
13Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
United States manufacturers currently produce most of the world's solar-power generators--most of which are exported to Europe. However, European manufacturers are emerging and probably will ultimately capture much of the European market. The United States government is funding initiatives intended to encourage use of solar power within the United States. If these initiatives succeed in increasing the demand for solar-power generators in the United States, United States manufacturers will probably maintain significant production levels, since __________.
(A) some United States manufacturers have been substantially increasing their output over the last several years (B) the efficiency of solar-power generators in converting energy from the Sun into electric power is not improving as fast as it once did (C) just as European manufacturers enjoy certain competitive advantages in Europe, so do United States manufacturers in the United States (D) European governments are currently undertaking initiatives to stimulate the use of solar power within Europe (E) the current market for solar-power generators in the United States is very limited

答案c，思路不太清楚。谢谢！ 19. (27995-!-item-!-188;#058&003473)
Gortland has long been narrowly self-sufficient in both grain and meat. However, as per capita income in Gortland has risen toward the world average, per capita consumption of meat has also risen toward the world average, and it takes several pounds of grain to produce one pound of meat. Therefore, since per capita income continues to rise, whereas domestic grain production will not increase, Gortland will soon have to import either grain or meat or both.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) The total acreage devoted to grain production in Gortland will soon decrease. (B) Importing either grain or meat will not result in a significantly higher percentage of Gortlanders' incomes being spent on food than is currently the case. (C) The per capita consumption of meat in Gortland is increasing at roughly the same rate across all income levels. (D) The per capita income of meat producers in Gortland is rising faster than the per capita income of grain producers. (E) People in Gortland who increase their consumption of meat will not radically decrease their consumption of grain. 答案E，可我觉得是B呀？~ The city has now provided parking that accommodates a third of the tour buses, so damage to Palitito's buildings from the buses' exhaust will diminish significantly.这句的中文翻译是什么？再次谢谢
