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
这道题实在是不太明白它要考的是什么意思啊?纠结啊!

答案是D吗?

我的感觉是:题干很容易,但是问题和选项有点绕。其实没有必要逐条都仔细分析的,抓住“vulnerable”说明是要削弱题干的观点的,而在阅读题干的过程中,已经可以隐约感到有一个漏洞:“吃饭时间短就说明盈利多吗?”,这和选项D正好吻合。

之后再用排除法排除其他选项。

窘个,我看成答案选d,一直想不通。
答案C,很容易理解,题干说,因为人们喜欢高椅子可以看明星,所以饭店认为全部换成高椅子能增加收入。C说这些来看明星坐高椅子地人一般被认为会拖延离开,即她们在饭店呆长时间不走,霸着位子,那这样饭店没有空位子给其他客人,收入就没有预期啦。
