Although the discount stores in Goreville central shopping district are expected to close within five years as a result of competition from a SpendLess discount department store that just opened, those locations will not stay vacant for long. In the five years since the opening of Colson's, a nondiscount department store, a new store has opened at the location of every store in the shopping district that closed because it could not compete with Colson's.<\/p>\n

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?<\/p>\n

(A) Many customers of Colson's are expected to do less shopping there than they did before the SpendLess store opened.<\/p>\n

(B) Increasingly, the stores that have opened in the central shopping district since Colson's opened have been discount stores.<\/p>\n

(C) At present, the central shopping district has as many stores operating in it as it ever had.<\/p>\n

(D) Over the course of the next five years, it is expected that Goreville's population will grow at a faster rate than it has for the past several decades.<\/p>\n

(E) Many stores in the central shopping district sell types of merchandise that are not available at either SpendLess or Colson's.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
