Situation:For five years the Souper restaurant chain has maintained rapid sales growth in Danport, primarily by opening new restaurants that draw patrons away from other restaurants in their vicinity.

Goal:Souper wishes to achieve continued rapid sales growth in Danport over the next two years.

Proposal for consideration:Continue to open new restaurants in Danport during the next two years at the same rate as in the last two years.

In light of the situation, which of the following, if true, most strongly argues that adopting the proposal would be an ineffective way of achieving the goal?

(A) At times at which customers find Souper restaurants too crowded, they often go to other restaurants nearby.

(B) The Souper chain has generally opened new restaurants in locations that are in the vicinity of a large number of other restaurants.

(C) Souper restaurants generally offer a much smaller variety of foods than many of the other restaurants in their vicinity.

(D) Virtually all potential sites for new Souper restaurants in Danport are located in the vicinity of existing Souper restaurants.

(E) Souper restaurants have always offered meals that are somewhat less expensive than meals at restaurants that compete with Souper for patrons.

这个题目选d，A为什么不对？发现餐馆太多，就去别的地方了。没啥错误啊~~~D的意思不也是S饭馆都聚集到一块了吗？而且d只说了都聚集到一起，并没有说为什么会达不到目标啊

本道题是削弱题~~

我觉得A的答案加强了结论~~正因为没有足够的Souper Restaurant，所以customers才会到别的地方去用餐~~

而D选项才是削弱~~该建的地方都已经建了~~那就没有必要增加Souper Restaurant了~~

目标是获利，proposal是开很多的餐馆。A选项说明餐馆开得太多了，顾客都去别的地方，所以不获利，不是说明了了propsal是对目标的一个inefficient way吗？。。。
所以A选项回答了 which of the following, if true, most strongly argues that adopting the proposal would be an ineffective way of achieving the goal?啊~~~~~

A选项不是这个意思~~如果餐馆开的很多，那就不会出现拥挤的现象了啊~~拥挤是因为没有足够的餐馆

这个A为什么不能理解为餐馆太多了呢？？？

你可能时间点搞错了，proposal是将来式，还未发生，而选项是现在式，说现在的情况。。。

(B) The Souper chain has generallyopened new restaurants in locations that are in the vicinity of a large numberof other restaurants.

翻译：souper chain 已经在那些周围有很多餐馆的地方开了新店

理解：说明接下来的几年，可能没有更多的locaion了。

不知我的理解是不是有误？大家如何排除B 选项呢？

我觉得B选项有一定道理啊，只是相比D选项，不如D更好

In light of the situation, which of the following, if true, most strongly argues that adopting the proposal would be an ineffective way of achieving the goal?

(A) At times at which customers find Souper restaurants too crowded, they often go to other restaurants nearby.这个是在support开新店。
(B) The Souper chain has generally opened new restaurants in locations that are in the vicinity of a large number of other restaurants. 这个只是一个现象，已经是文中说明的了。注意原文第一句话。
(C) Souper restaurants generally offer a much smaller variety of foods than many of the other restaurants in their vicinity.遇到generally，知道之前之后是idential situation，不影响。
(D) Virtually all potential sites for new Souper restaurants in Danport are located in the vicinity of existing Souper restaurants.
(E) Souper restaurants have always offered meals that are somewhat less expensive than meals at restaurants that compete with Souper for patrons.这个是在support，不选。
