TTGWD11-Q12:

In Brindon
                County, virtually all of the fasteners—such as nuts, bolts, and screws—used by workshops and manufacturing firms have for several years been supplied by the Brindon Bolt Barn, a specialist wholesaler.  In recent months many of Brindon
                County’s workshops and manufacturing firms have closed down, and no new ones have opened.  Therefore, the Brindon Bolt Barn will undoubtedly show a sharp decline in sales volume and revenue for this year as compared to last year.

The argument depends on assuming which of the following?

A.      Last year the Brindon Bolt Barn’s sales volume and revenue were significantly higher than they had been the previous year.

B.       The workshops and manufacturing firms that have remained open have a smaller volume of work to do this year than they did last year.

C.      Soon the Brindon Bolt Barn will no longer be the only significant supplier of fasteners to Brindon
                County’s workshops.

D.      The Brindon Bolt Barn’s operating expenses have not increased this year.

E.       The Brindon Bolt Barn is not a company that gets the great majority of its business from customers outside Brindon
                County. 

answer is E, why not B

这样批驳b：虽然说这些店都是从这个地方进货，并且垮了很多店。而且剩余的店的工作量减少了。但是工作量减少不是说需要这些fasteners就一定少，可能一个衣服上钉了很多的这些东西。

而e，取非。如果这个批发商主要的生意不是这个小县，那么这个小县的情况不会构成所谓的sharp decline。
