104. 04. Although the discount stores in Goreville’s central shopping district are expected to close within five years as a result of competition from a SpendLess discount department store that just opened, those locations will not stay vacant for long. In the five years since the opening of Colson’s, a non-discount department store, a new store has opened at the location of every store in the shopping district that closed because it could not compete with Colson’s.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
(A) Many customers of Colson’s are expected to do less shopping there than they did before the SpendLess store opened.
(B) Increasingly, the stores that have opened in the central shopping district since Colson’s opened have been discount stores.
(C) At present, the central shopping district has as many stores operating in it as it ever had.
(D) Over the course of the next five years, it is expected that Goreville’s population will grow at a faster rate than it has for the past several decades.
(E) Many stores in the central shopping district sell types of merchandise that are not available at either SpendLess or Colson’s.
粗体的B是正选，题目我是明白了，看了解释后明白了为什么选B。但我还是有点儿不明白C。我对C选项的理解是，现在，中心购物区已经的经营的商店已经达到有史以来的峰值了(as many as it ever had)。那么就是暗示说，容不下更多的商店了，那么就不可能在那些vacant上再开店了，从而削弱了原文中的类比论据。不知道我的理解错在哪里，怎么都转不过弯儿来。还请各位指点一下。谢谢诶！
