17. (26864-!-item-!-188;#058&003368)

At present the Hollywood Restauranthas only standard-height tables. However, many customers come to watch the celebrities who frequent theHollywood, and they would prefer tall tables with stools because such seating wouldafford a better view of the celebrities. Moreover, diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long asdiners seated at standard-height tables. Therefore, if the Hollywood replaced some of its seating with hightables and stools, its profits would increase.

The argument is vulnerable tocriticism on the grounds that it gives reason to believe that it is likely that

(A) some celebrities come to theHollywood to be seen, and so might choose to sit at the tall tables if theywere available

(B) the price of meals ordered bycelebrities 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 atall table would be an exception to the generalization about lingering

(D) a restaurant's customers who spend less time at theirmeals typically order less expensive meals than those who remain at their mealslonger

(E) with enough tall tables toaccommodate all the Hollywood's customers interested in such seating, therewould be no view except of other tall tables

答案是C为什么啊？

答案C中，“who would choose to sit at atall table would be an exception to the generalization about lingering” 指的是去Hollywood的顾客和之前premises中描述的顾客linger是不一样的，即他们不会因为sit at tall table就linger shorter time，因为他们去Hollywood是为了看明星，所以反而会linger更长时间，所以Hollywood不能通过更换桌子减少顾客停留时间来增加利润。
所以weaken了argument~

哦哦明白了明白了~谢谢~~那D的错误是在于：即使换成stall table可能会使点贵的人少了，但不代表它的利润会下来，是吧？
