Jennifer:Video rental outlets in Centerville together handled 10,000 fewer video rentals in 1994 than in 1993.The decline in rentals was probably due almost entirely to the February 1994 opening of Videorama, the first and only video rental outlet in the area that, in addition to renting videos, also sold them cheaply.
Brad:There must be another explanation:as you yourself said, the decline was on the order of 10,000 rentals.Yet Videorama sold only 4,000 videos in 1994.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the force of the objection that Brad presents to Jennifer's explanation?
(A) In 1994 Videorama rented out more videos than it sold.
(B) In 1994 two new outlets that rent but that do not sell videos opened in Centerville.
(C) Most of the video rental outlets in Centerville rent videos at a discount on certain nights of the week.
(D) People often buy videos of movies that they have previously seen in a theater.
(E) People who own videos frequently loan them to their friends.
请教传说姐: 看看我理解的,Centerville出租量减少了10000,解释说是由于Videorama的开张。 但是Brad反驳说,Centerville的出租减少了10000,但是Videorama仅卖出4000,不足以说明 答案E,把卖出4000——影响出租减少10000直接挂钩,sold——own—— frequently loan ,卖出的4000就可以四两拨千斤,说明出租10000的减少。没有问题
可是A,说明Videorama不仅卖出4000,出租的要4000+,这样也可以解释Centerville出租量减少了10000.
