Q37:TTGWD11-Q12:

In Brindon County, virtually all of the fasteners—such as nuts, bolts, and screws—used by workshops and manufacturing firms have for several years been supplied by the Brindon Bolt Barn, a specialist wholesaler.In recent months many of Brindon County’s workshops and manufacturing firms have closed down, and no new ones have opened.Therefore, the Brindon Bolt Barn will undoubtedly show a sharp decline in sales volume and revenue for this year as compared to last year. E

The argument depends on assuming which of the following?

A.Last year the Brindon Bolt Barn’s sales volume and revenue were significantly higher than they had been the previous year.

B.The workshops and manufacturing firms that have remained open have a smaller volume of work to do this year than they did last year.

C.Soon the Brindon Bolt Barn will no longer be the only significant supplier of fasteners to Brindon County’s workshops.

D.The Brindon Bolt Barn’s operating expenses have not increased this year.

E.！The Brindon Bolt Barn is not a company that gets the great majority of its business from customers outside Brindon County.


答案是E  B为啥不对捏。。。

应该说e相比b更合理一些。。

e说这BBB公司主要都只在B county做买卖，所以如果b county业务量下降，他就一定sharp decline。。

b说还开着的公司工作量会减少，但是业务量减少不能一定保证bbb公司的decline。。如果bbb在外地业务是大头，就不会有很大变化。。

其实还是不明白，B说这些零售商卖的数量很少。 如果说他们卖的数量很多的话，那么BBB公司岂不是不会亏损？

我知道E一定是对的，，，但是还是比较纠结B。。。
