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

 Answer：A

83.   (24931-!-item-!-188;#058&001279) 

The economy around Lake
                                    Paqua depends on fishing of the lake's landlocked salmon population.  In recent years, scarcity of food for salmon there has caused a decline in both the number and the size of the adult salmon in the lake.  As a result, the region's revenues from salmon fishing have declined significantly.  To remedy this situation, officials plan to introduce shrimp, which can serve as a food source for adult salmon, into Lake
                                    Paqua.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the plan's chances for success?

A. Salmon is not a popular food among residents of the Lake Paqua region.

B. Tourists coming to fish for sport generate more income for residents of the Lake
                                    Paqua region than does commercial fishing.

C. The shrimp to be introduced into Lake
                                    Paqua are of a variety that is too small to be harvested for human consumption.

D. The primary food for both shrimp and juvenile salmon is plankton, which is not abundant in Lake
                                    Paqua.

E. Fishing regulations prohibit people from keeping any salmon they have caught in Lake
                                    Paqua that are smaller than a certain minimum size.
