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.

i don't understand the question ask for " which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the force of the objection that Brad presents to Jennifer's explanation?"

E is correct, from my end.

the question is looking for the choice that weakens the statement of Brad. that means the choice should support Jennifer's statement.

Choice E states that the Video selling in Videorama and its purchasers are responsible for the decrease.
