GWD5-Q8:

When a new restaurant, Martin’s Cafe, opened in Riverville last year, many people predicted that business at the Wildflower Inn, Riverville’s only other restaurant, would suffer from the competition.  Surprisingly, however, in the year since Martin’s Cafe opened, the average number of meals per night served at the Wildflower Inn has increased significantly.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the increase?

1. Unlike the Wildflower Inn, Martin’s Cafe serves considerably more meals on weekends than it does on weekdays.

2. Most of the customers of Martin’s Cafe had never dined in Riverville before this restaurant opened, and on most days Martin’s Cafe attracts more customers than it can seat.

3. The profit per meal is higher, on average, for meals served at Martin’s Cafe than for those served at the Wildflower Inn.

4. The Wildflower Inn is not open on Sundays, and therefore Riverville residents who choose to dine out on that day must either eat at Martin’s Cafe or go to neighboring towns to eat.

5. A significant proportion of the staff at Martin’s Cafe are people who formerly worked at the Wildflower Inn and were hired away by the owner of Martin’s Cafe.

答案是B,不是很理解

B是相对合理的，因为有些勉强。

因为Martin’s Cafe 的顾客和那个老店的不交叉，因此可以推断出新店的开张不会影响老店的生意；

另外第二句说，每天都有更多的顾客来，但是没有座位坐，这样可以推断，没有座位坐，导致一部分人去了另一家店，从而导致另一家店生意反而更好一些。

其他的选项于此无关，因此可以先排除，B可能性更大一些

但是C看起来也有点道理啊

B比较贵，相比之C就划得来。。。若问下

是profit，利润？利润和顾客没有啥关系啊。

噢，我明白了。
