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?
In 1994 Videorama rented out more videos than it sold.
In 1994 two new outlets that rent but that do not sell videos opened in Centerville.
Most of the video rental outlets in Centerville rent videos at a discount on certain nights of the week.
People often buy videos of movies that they have previously seen in a theater.
People who own videos frequently loan them to their friends.
Jennifer: C地的影像店在1994年的录像带出租量比1993年少了10000。出租下降可能几乎完全因为V店1994年2月的开业,此地区最大也是唯一一家既出租,也低价出售录像带的影像店
Brad: 肯定有另外的解释。 像你说的,出租量下滑了10000。 然而V店在1994年只卖了4000盘。
削弱题 削弱Brad的反对
(A) 1994年, V店出租比卖的多;文中说94年C地总出租量减少10000,已经把V店的出租量包括进去了,所以V店出租再多,对该地区总的出租量下滑也没有影响,所以无关,排
(B) 在1994年,两个只租不卖的新店在C地开了;没有谈到对出租下滑的影响,无关,排
(C) C地大部分影像店在每周的固定夜晚折扣出租;某些日子折扣出租,无关,排.
(D) 人们经常买原来在剧院看过的电影录像带;人们的购买习惯,无关,排
(E) 有录像带的人经常把它们借给朋友;说明虽然V店只卖了4000,买了录像带的人会借录像带给朋友,从而导致该地出租量下滑,还是因为V店导致出租下滑,削弱了Bradd说的还有另外的解释,正确
