77. (30754-!-item-!-188;#058&005525) 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_____.
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
有人解释选项A是说在市中心的那些商店是过度依靠面临竞争的主力商店,从而忽略其他商店导致了经营失败,而不是由于和M地区的那个折扣商店的直接竞争才导致了经营失败。说实话觉得很有问题,我自己对a选项的理解是那些有可能因为和M地折扣商店竞争导致经营失败的店铺都是市中心的主力商店,而其他的市中心店铺都是依靠这些主力商店拉客的能力而存活的,这样说来对于信心是否建立没有什么帮助,因为主力商店失败,那其他的店铺也生存不了。还有 自己觉得B选项也有道理,因为其市中心的商店接收了很多车子运来在M地的顾客,从而增加了收入可以避免倒闭。 还有一个疑问题干最后一句是不是表达本来建立不起信心但是由于以下的一个选项可以重拾信心。因为没大读出答案和问题方向是否一致性。
因为本人英语功底有限,所以难免犯了一些理解上的低级失误,烦请大虾赐教,小弟不甚感激!!!
