            Mall owner: Our mall's occupancy rate is so low that we are barely making a profit. We cannot raise rents because ofan unacceptably high risk of losing established tenants. On the other hand, a mall that is fully occupied costs aboutas much to run as one in which a rental space here and a rental space there stands empty. Clearly, therefore, toincrease profits we must sign up new tenants.
            Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
            

1.                     The mall's operating costs could be cut by consolidating currently rented spaces in such a way that an entirewing of the mall could be closed up.
                   
                   
2.                     The mall is located in a geographic area in which costs incurred for air-conditioning in the hot summers exceedthose incurred for heating in the mid winters by a wide margin.
                   
                   
3.                     The mall's occupancy rate, though relatively low, has been relatively stable for several years.
                   
                   
4.                     The mall lost tenants as a result of each of the two major rent increases that have occurred there.
                   
                   
5.                     None of the mall's established tenants is likely to need additional floor space there in the foreseeable future.
   
   
   
   这道题我看了解析算是勉强把题目看懂了。一看选项又蒙了！
   做的时候连蒙带猜的也把这道题做对了，可是自己完全不是想懂得a~
   
   向牛牛们求助，如果你看明白了，就帮忙解答下吧~
   谢啦~
   
   
   答案（più più più ）：A

购物中心商位占有率低使得很少赚到利润。但是又不能增加租金，因为那样会使得失去更多已经建立的商户。另一方面不管是商位都被占满了，还是指有其中一部分占了，成本都是一样。因此他们还是打算签约更多的商户来increase利润。

A就是说可以通过合并一些商位，（本来这个mall 1000平方米，现在就变成500平方米，把存在的那些商户都集中在500平方米之内，而不是散落在1000平米内）

我觉得大概是这个意思。。

那这样怎么能提高利润呢呢呢呢??

商场门面租客太少而不能赚钱。提出的解决办法：提高租金（否定，因为1.可能损失已有房客；2.经营门面占有率full的商场所需的成本与经营门面都是空的商场成本一样）。结论：为了增加利润我们必须寻找新房客。


我觉得解题的关键应该在COST，因为目标是增加利润，要削弱可以找他因，或隔断因果链。
A答案说，可以通过合并现有已出租门面，关闭空置门面来减少成本，直接削弱第2条。
B选项说这个商场的地理位置在一个夏天开冷空调比冬天开热空调更烧钱的地方，无关。（@#￥%说的什么呀这是，不知所云）
C选项，别看我们商场占有率低，可是至少它N年以来都很稳定的！（明显自我安慰，无关）
D，两种主要租金的上涨导致了商场门面租户的流失。（与增加利润无关）
E，商场已有的租户没有人愿意在将来增加额外的空地。（说的established，与前提和结论都无关）

（话说楼主好毒啊。。写了这么多也不知道作对没。。。错了就丢脸了T-T）

我少说了半句话。。。它说 营运成本可以通过 合并商位而降低。。。也就是说成本降低了，利润就提高了。。这样 不用 必须签约商户来增加利润。。。。。就削弱了结论了吧。。。。。

A这个选项终于弄明白了~感谢！
但是题目有个逻辑我没弄懂
就是那个“提高租金”与那个“2.经营门面占有率full的商场所需的成本与经营门面都是空的商场成本一样”这俩咋否定啊？
我没太懂~

中国人都七百加啦~~

顺便说你下面说的那问题，提高租金和占有率成本没关系。。。
只不过 作者提出了两个证据
1.不能提高租金，因为提高租金就损失客户了
2.是成本怎么着都一样。。
由于这两个方面，作者得出结论，要新签约客户。。。

不是说 ：不能提高租金   是 因为成本怎么都一样。。。。
两点 是 independently的。。。
