In Brindon County, virtually all of the fasteners-such as nuts, bolts, and screws-used by workshops and manufacturing firms have for several years been supplied by the Brindon Bolt Barn, a specialist wholesaler. In recent months many of Brindon County's workshops and manufacturing firms have closed down, and no new ones have opened. Therefore, the Brindon Bolt Barn will undoubtedly show a sharp decline in sales volume and revenue for this year as compared to last year.
The argument depends on assuming which of the following?
- A Last year the Brindon Bolt Barn's sales volume and revenue were significantly higher than they had been the previous year.
- B The workshops and manufacturing firms that have remained open have a smaller volume of work to do this year than they did last year.
- C Soon the Brindon Bolt Barn will no longer be the only significant supplier of fasteners to Brindon County's workshops.
- D The Brindon Bolt Barn's operating expenses have not increased this year.
- E The Brindon Bolt Barn is not a company that gets the great majority of its business from customers outside Brindon County.
