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板凳 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

选C 对正确项没有敏感的反应没有搞懂求解释

Film Director: It is true that certain characters and plot twists in my newly released film The Big Heist are strikingly similar to characters and plot twists in Thieves, a movie that came out last year. Based on these similarities, the film studio that produced Thieves is now accusing me of taking ideas from that film. The accusation is clearly without merit. All production work on The Big Heist was actually completed months before Thieves was released.

Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest support for the director's rejection of the accusation?

(A) Before Thieves began production, its script had been circulating for several years among various film studios, including the studio that produced The Big Heist.
(B) The characters and plot twists that are most similar in the two films have close parallels in many earlier films of the same genre.
(C) The film studio that produced Thieves seldom produces films in this genre.
(D) The director of Thieves worked with the director of The Big Heist on several earlier projects.
(E) The time it took to produce The Big Heist was considerably shorter than the time it took to produce Thieves.

选B, 同样搞不懂.....

1. C讲了选高桌椅板凳的客人不会呆太久. 那么他们消费也不会太多.
2. B说2部影片里的角色都和更早的一部里面的相似. 所以Thieves的指控没法成立.

good luck ~

注意，这里的generalization指的也是坐高凳子的

这题应该这样理解：原文第一句话：这个餐厅的顾客很多是来这里看名人的，因为很多名人经常来这里吃饭。因此，这些顾客想要高一点的台和凳子，因为这样可以把名人看得更仔细。第二句：按照一般的餐饮惯例，坐高凳和高台的人逗留时间比坐标准凳和台的人的时间短，也就是翻台率高点。（这里多点坐高凳的，收入就会更高。）问题要我们找这个推理的错误。
C就指出了这个错误：（即使按照一般的餐饮惯例，坐高凳和高台的要留时间短一点，）但是这条惯例在来好莱坞这里吃饭的人身上不成立。言外之意就是说，来好莱坞这里吃饭的人，坐高凳的合高台的时间起码不必标准凳的短，所以翻台率不会因为换了高台和高凳就增加，利润也不会因此增加。
