Q29.p1-cr 10.(25259-!-item-!-188;#058&001774)



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.



答案是E。E为什么比A好？

B说还有其他原因。显然消弱点在与告他就是这个原因。E选项中，人们把盘借给了其他人，但人们的盘肯定是买来的，所以就是因为买来的这个原因导致人们有盘可借，所以没有其他原因导致下降

还有你注意到 V公司有一个单词是in the area ，此地区租售下降，说明他也收到了租售下降的波及。A无关，即使租售大于售卖，但我的租售还是下降了

我会选E。。。但是具体哪里更好也说不上来....额....

我感觉 题意就有意地在告诉你 videos are very cheap...so more people will buy it..所以A 就不恰当咯....

因为together handled 10,000 fewer video rentals in 1994 than in 1993， 而且V店也in the area, 所以V店的销售也受影响了。最重要的原因是，B认为这里有除了V sold video外的其他原因导致rental下降，为了weaken B, 就不能给出其他除了sold外的原因导致rental下降。 A恰恰是其他原因，应该是support B 的， 而E是sold一样的原因，因为own video的人会借给别人

我觉得这样说更清晰一点，他们fail to distinguish 什么是租，什么是买。因为租和买的概念不一样。所以做题时候只需要看哪个选项中，同时包含租和买的信息，然后搭了一个桥梁让两个信息在一起。一看只有E，所以一步到位了。
