At present the Hollywood Restaurant has only standard-height tables. However, many customers come to watch the celebrities who frequent the Hollywood, and they would prefer tall tables with stools because such seating would afford a better view of the celebrities. Moreover, diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables. Therefore, if the Hollywood replaced some of its seating with high tables and stools, its profits would increase.
The argument is vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it gives reason to believe that it is likely that
(A) some celebrities come to the Hollywood to be seen, and so might choose to sit at the tall tables if they were available
(B) the price of meals ordered by celebrities dining at the Hollywood compensates for the longer time, if any, they spend lingering over their meals
(C) a customer of the Hollywood who would choose to sit at a tall table would be an exception to the generalization about lingering
(D) a restaurant's customers who spend less time at their meals typically order less expensive meals than those who remain at their meals longer
(E) with enough tall tables to accommodate all the Hollywood's customers interested in such seating, there would be no view except of other tall tables
答案选C,我选D
不明白为什么D错,花费时间少的顾客花钱也少,这正好使利润降低,能起到WEAKEN 作用,不知道错哪了,
请大家帮忙指点一下
饭店客人喜欢做高台方便看明星，做高台的人通常没有坐普通台的人用餐时间长，所以如果饭店增加高台会增加利润，问消弱
C选择坐在好莱坞饭店里高台的顾客不符合普遍性的高台停留时间短的理论（也就是说有明星吸引，就算坐的不舒服还是怎样也会做久一点）
D坐时间短的人没有坐时间长的人点的东西贵。（这个对饭店利润无所谓，坐的时间短可以促进客流量还是会增加利润）
And always keep in mind that PROFIT is always the ultimate pursuit of BUSINESS, take that into consideration, you should always pay extra attention to answers that either directly or indirectly mention about the PROFIT. 
C的意思是，选择作tall table的人并不是Hollywood Restaurant希望吸引的人--那些lingering为了看celebraties的人；这样就违背了换tall table的初衷，使tall table没有得尽其用！
