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.
关键点:Centerville是地点,因此是C地总体出租录像带的数量下降了,题目要求解释就是由于新开的V店可以售卖录像带造成的;
错选A选项:【引用】 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
E选项:直接说明售卖录像带导致人们不再需要租了,说明出租录像带下降的原因
