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.
Question: 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 of the Hollywood's customers interested in such seating, there would be no view except of other tall tables
此题似乎在C和E之间选择有点难度。选择E的认为C改变了出题人的premise（人们来restaurant是来看明星的，而不是来吃饭逗留的） 我偏向选择C，E选项有点像加强，而不是削弱。 有nn解释一下嘛？谢谢 |
