Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?

 

Twenty percent of the stores in Morganville's downtown shopping district will fail within five years because they will be competing directly with the SaveMart discount department store newly opened in East Morganville.  The downtown shopping district has lost business at this rate before and has always completely rebounded.  Confidence that it will rebound again from the losses it is now about to suffer is ill founded, however, because __________.

 

A. the stores likely to be put out of business by direct competition from SaveMart are the downtown shopping district's anchor stores, on whose ability to draw shoppers many of the other downtown stores depend

B. the bus line that has long connected the downtown area of Morganville with East Morganville has a tradition of carrying shoppers who reside in East Morganville into downtown Morganville to shop

C. when the downtown shopping district has rebounded before, the business premises of a failed business were typically taken over by a business of the same kind as had been there before

D. SaveMart's business plan for the East Morganville store is based on earning low profits, if any, during the first five years of the store's existence

E. it is conceivable that the downtown shopping district could shrink substantially without collapsing altogether

 

答案选A，我选C。

当时选择C的时候确实觉得有点问题，因为题目并没有说是哪些商店受到了亏损，也没有提到关于type的问题。但是对于A也是很困惑。

 

A的意思是说只有那些酒厂才能够从亏损中恢复过来吗？那些酒厂有能力从别的商店将顾客吸引过来。

但是题目有和过去做比较，说过去可以恢复，但现在不可以恢复了，而A选项没有说明过去啊。

 

困惑！请指教！

结论：Confidence that it will rebound again from the losses it is now about to suffer is ill founded希望中心购物区能够从它将要遭受的损失中恢复过来是没有根据的

A：由于竞争不过storemart，极有可能被迫倒闭的是中心购物区的主力店，这一地区的许多其他店铺依赖它吸引购物者

不需要与过去比较，如果没有顾客来，倒闭的店铺就不会复兴

C：过去中心购物区复兴的时候，倒闭企业的办公地点一般由过去已经在这一地区的同类型企业接管

这是过去的情况，而结论论述现在的情况，因此是无关选项

A的意思是，这次崩溃的是M城的主力店铺，就是这些店铺抢了外城店铺的生意（间接暗示了以前被打击的是小店铺）。如果主力店铺崩溃了，那么M也没得玩了，主心骨给抽了，所以不能再rebound了。

谁帮忙翻译一下C的意思好么？

grape262001

C. when the downtown shopping district has rebounded before, the business premises of a failed business were typically taken over by a business of the same kind as had been there before

当那些中心购物地区再次恢复营业时，从亏损中恢复营业的前提是亏损店铺是被以前就一直在同地区相同类型的行业所接管。

翻译的不好，请指正

A 是说以前生意没了，district's anchor stores 可以从其他地方抢生意，所以可以反弹。

 district's anchor stores, on whose
ability to draw shoppers many of the other downtown stores depend

请问LS GG, 这不是说 anchor store 会失去竞争力么？而那个whose ability to draw shoppers many of the other downtown stores depend 只是修饰了这个stores 了一下。。。

还是偶得理解有问题，请指点!

to jessica_cxy,

A的理解如下：以前有市中心店铺关门但是类似旗舰的大店没倒，这种旗舰店能把大量顾客吸引回来，所以以前其他关门店铺能陆续再开张回复元气，但是这次这些能吸引大量顾客的大店要关门了（因为SaveMarket的竞争）。

感谢zhuceg gg!!

原来偶把结论理解反了=。=

A只说这次是主力店，没有说以前是什么店，以前也可能是主力店吧~所以我觉得A不能削弱呀，A并没有解释现在和以前不同~~只说了现在形势严峻~

搞不懂呀~~~~请大家指点
