14. In Washington County, attendance at the movies is just large enough for the cinema operators to make modest profi ts. The size of the county’s population is stable and is not expected to increase much. Yet there are investors ready to double the number of movie screens in the county within fi ve years, and they are predicting solid profits both for themselves and for the established cinema operators.

Which of the following, if true about Washington County, most helps to provide a justifi cation for the investors’ prediction?
(A) Over the next ten years, people in their teenage years, the prime moviegoing age, will be a rapidly growing proportion of the county’s population.
(B) As distinct from the existing cinemas, most of the cinemas being planned would be located in downtown areas, in hopes of stimulating an economic revitalization of those areas.
(C) Spending on video purchases, as well as spending on video rentals, has been increasing modestly each
year for the past ten years.
(D) The average number of screens per cinema is lower among existing cinemas than it is among cinemas still
in the planning stages.
(E) The sale of snacks and drinks in cinemas accounts for a steadily growing share of most cinema operators’
profi ts.

答案A肯定是对的···不过小弟我觉得B也很好啊，请大牛指正：

我的思路如下：

B选项：建在downtown地区，downtown地区肯定比较繁华，因此能吸引更多的人。Furthermore, 这个地区由于新建了电影院，这个地区原本不看电影的人也会来看了··所以B正确。

请大牛指正！

结论的特殊性是新开的cinema可以make profits,
B选项是说开在DOWTOWN以促进那里的经济，那里的经济发展与make profits是两码事
另外，就算促进了经济可以带来更多的profits，但是这也只是in hopes of ，不是真实发生的事实，它可能发生，也可能不发生，所以不确定，不能选

这种解释能够接受么，既然人口增长不变，那么有多少人进入看电影的年龄阶段就有多少走出看电影的年龄阶段，这可能会带来利润的增加么？

没有人说过“有多少人进入看电影的年龄阶段就有多少走出看电影的年龄阶段”，人口增长不变，人口结构也可以变的

哦，谢谢，是我臆想了，呵呵

最近又看到这个题，固然A是对的
但是B也不能说是错的啊
刺激了经济当然应该看电影的更多啊
OG解释说 While stimulating downtown revitalization is a worthy goal
这个做题的时候我怎么想的出来
都已经说是if true了，还说是worthy goal
有人可以解释一下么，谢谢

请NN解释，我也不清楚！

Justifying assumption is a sufficient assumption, in constrast to a necessary assumption.  As such, the justifying assumption can directly lead to the conclusion in the stimulus.

A can accomplish that feat while B cannot since B needs an additional assumption - after the economy is revitalized, people will go to the cinema.  If people go to night clubs instead, the argument falls apart.

题干说most helps
这个prediction说make profits还是solid, for1投资者2电影院运营者

B in hopes of stimulation          revitalization显然都不是确定的利润（只要看电影的人数不变，就不能保证利润。而且在市里开电影院会增加成本）
