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.
关键:理解题意
注意:Centerville指地点
目的:对Brad提出的质疑,给出解释,以起到削弱作用
A: 1994年, V店出租比卖的多,不能解释为什么C地总出租量减少10000
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
