Jen: Video rental outlets in Centerville together handled 10, 000 fewer vides rentals in 1994 than in 1993. The decline was probably due almost entirely to the Feburary 1994 opening of Videorama, the first and only video rental outlet in the area, that in addition to renting videos sold them cheaply.
Brad: There must be another explanation: as you said, the decline was on the order of 10,000 rentals. Yet Videorama sold on 4000 videos in 1994.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the force of the objecton that Brad presents to Jen's explanation.
a) In 1994, Videorama rented out more videos than it sold
b) In 1994 two new outlets that rent but do not sell videso opened in Centerville
c) Most of the video outlets in Centerville rent videos at a discount on certain nights of the week
d) People often buy videos of movies they have previously seen in a theater
e) People who own videos frequently loan them to their friends.
See answer below
Ans - E
I agree that e) is the best of the worst answers, but its such a stretch and nothing says that e) started happening in 1994 and wasn't happening in 1993.
Am I missing something or folks find this a rather weak question as well ?
