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.

答案选e，觉得是正确的，但是不知道为什么a不正确。weaken the force of the objection 不就是说there's no other reason, it's the videorama that caused the decline, 这样的话a 不是也支持么

看到了小D过来溜一下。。。
可是我觉得A无关啊。。。租的比卖的多这说明了什么呢？没有办法达到说就是VIDEORAMA cause了这个啊。。。反而有点点支持的意味吧。。。
