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?

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

B. 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.

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

D. 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.

E. 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.
此题我是选的c，答案是B,为什么？c解释不清吗？还是我出错了段意。。。

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.

What this means is that
1) Customers at the new restaurant are NEW themselves. So the "OLD" customers still go to the old restaurant. There is no loss for the customer base for the old restaurant.
2) In addition, the new restaurant attracts more NEW customers than it can handle. Some of these new customers are so hungry that they go to the OLD restaurant for meals. The old restaurant is expanding its customer base.

C是无关选项啊，题目中结论是说进餐的人数多了，而C中是说，每餐能赚的钱比W多。。。并不能解释结论

先说说你为什么会选C选项

C 选项说的是“利润”(profit)，而题目问的是“顾客人数”为什么增加，答非所问。
B选项正确，因为新餐馆带来了更多客源。

感觉lz因为看到cafe的每餐利润较高，自然想到cafe的餐价较高，所以drive away顾客。典型迷惑选项。
如果选项是price 不是profit倒是有可能，但说的是profit，那么Inn的餐价可以较高而食材等成本也较高所以profit低，cafe的餐价较低但食材等成本很低，profit可以很高。
