Downtown Villieu was once a flourishing business district, but most Villieu-area businesses are now located only in the suburbs. The office buildings downtown lack the modern amenities most business operators demand today. To lure more businesses downtown, Villieu officials plan to have several modern office buildings constructed and to offer reduced local tax rates to any business that leases space in a new downtown building.
Which of the following, if true, most threatens the plan's likelihood of success?
Most of the businesses currently located in downtown Villieu have long-term leases on the space they occupy there.
The existing office buildings in downtown Villieu have, on average, a much higher vacancy rate than do office buildings in Villieu's suburbs.
The local tax rates in Villieu's suburbs are significantly lower than downtown Villieu's proposed rate for businesses that lease space in the new office buildings.
Most of the businesses that currently lease office space in downtown Villieu also lease office space in Villieu's suburbs.
With the new office buildings, downtown Villieu would have a greater amount of modern office space than any other downtown business district in the region.

方案推理,C说明方案的可行性弱登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
Plan:修modern office 和 给lower tax rates
原因论证+条件论证
原因:business operators不来downtown的原因是downtown缺少现代设施
条件:好处(现代设施和低税率)是否足够吸引business operators
C:削弱条件论证过程,如果是为了低税率而来,那么也应该去suburb,不会去downtown
2.降低税率
所以threathen一定是从这两点出发。
Goal: 为了吸引business回到downtown Plan: 在downtown建立现代化办公楼,以及提供减免后的税收
choice c, 郊区税率比市区税率低。correct-> 说明downtown即使配置了办公楼依然无法和郊区竞争
D 大多数在城中心已经有办公室的公司在郊区业由办公室。 这描述一个客观事实,但不能削弱吸引不到新公司在downtown下榻。
