好莱坞餐厅一题谈谈自己的理解

At present, the Hollywood restaurant has only standard height tables. However, many customers come to watch celebrities who frequent Hollywood & they prefer tall tables in stools because such seating would afford better view of the celebrities. Moreover, dinners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated on standard height tables. Therefore, if the Hollywood restaurant replaced some of its seating with higher tables and stools, its profits would increase.

The statement is vulnerable to criticism in that it gives reason to believe that it is likely that:
(a) Some celebrities come to Hollywood restaurant to be seen and so might choose to sit at tall tables if they are available
(b) The price of meals ordered by celebrities dining at Hollywood restaurant compensates for longer time, if any, that they spend lingering over their meals
(c) A customer of the Hollywood restaurant who would choose to sit at a tall table would be an exception to the generatlisation about lingering
(d) A restaurant's customer who spends less time at their meal typically orders less expensive meals than those who remain at their meals longer
(e) With enough tall tables to accommodate all Hollywood restaurant's customers interested in such seating, there would be no view except of other tall tables

这题选C，现在理解清楚了，分享给大家我的心得；

我做的时候华丽丽做错了，选了D。但是D错在即使消费金额少，但是翻台率高了也无法确定利润变化；而且和好莱坞的背景没什么关系。对于C我一直没有正确理解句子意思：重点是lingering含义--generalization about lingering是说大众停留的时间，并没有说逗留的意思；
看B选项如果说长时间逗留它的表达是for the longer time they spend lingering会直接讲出；
所以C选项是说好莱坞餐厅的顾客都是奇葩坐在高脚凳上也不难受喜欢坐更久；
也符合了题干中提到的看表演--所以翻台率不会上升--我原来看题目就觉得很奇怪，明明是看表演为什么坐在高脚椅上又只坐很短的时间
现在发现GMAT很喜欢直接扔一个前文无关的事实出来，没有上下语境，经常被这样弄的懵懵的--所以要习惯这样的思维
