Situation:  For five years the Souper restaurant chain has maintained rapid sales growth in Danport, primarily by opening new restaurants that draw patrons away from other restaurants in their vicinity.

Goal:  Souper wishes to achieve continued rapid sales growth in Danport over the next two years.

Proposal for consideration:  Continue to open new restaurants in Danport during the next two years at the same rate as in the last two years.

In light of the situation, which of the following, if true, most strongly argues that adopting the proposal would be an ineffective way of achieving the goal?

(A) At times at which customers find Souper restaurants too crowded, they often go to other restaurants nearby.
(B) The Souper chain has generally opened new restaurants in locations that are in the vicinity of a large number of other restaurants.
(C) Souper restaurants generally offer a much smaller variety of foods than many of the other restaurants in their vicinity.
(D) Virtually all potential sites for new Souper restaurants in Danport are located in the vicinity of existing Souper restaurants.
(E) Souper restaurants have always offered meals that are somewhat less expensive than meals at restaurants that compete with Souper for patrons.

我纠结的就是A和D，A我觉得是可行的，如果大家都去别的店了，那就不能达到continued rapid sales growth这个目的
D是因为在已有souper的地方再开souper，也不能让continued rapid sales growth

但为什么答案是D不是A？

A是无关 而且存在时间误差

题目给出的立案是要通过增加餐厅数量来增加销售总量
A说的是当顾客数量超过餐厅所能承受的最大数目之后 顾客会跑到其它餐厅 这个已经是后话了

A的crowded应该理解成饭店太拥挤了，即人太多，而不是饭店太多。
