8. Which of the following best completes the passage below?

At large amusement parks, live shows are used very deliberately to influence crowd movements. Lunchtime performances relieve the pressure on a park’s restaurants.

(B) enhancing revenue by attracting people who come only for the live shows and then leave the park

(C) avoiding as far as possible traffic jams caused by visitors entering or leaving the park

(D) encouraging as many people as possible to come to the park in order to eat at the restaurants（E）

(E) utilizing the restaurants at optimal levels for as much of the day as possible

What does E mean?    "as much of the day as possible"?

还是不太明白,前面讲中午要尽可能减少对饭店的压力,晚上要尽可能地留客户吃晚饭. 然后出来一句Behind this surface divergence in immediate purpose there is the unified underlying goal of, 好象看上去应该开始讲除了上面讲到的对饭店客流方面的目的之外还有其他的目的,那似乎应该开始讲别的利益了. 但是选E的话,不是还是在讲饭店客流吗?

请教一记了. 谢谢.

前面讲两个时间live shows目的的表面不同之处，后面讲两个时间live shows的内在相同之处，构成一个完整的逻辑结构。

偶的理解：

中午饭店客流量大，吃饭的太多，所以午饭时间的表演的目的分流顾客；而晚上吃饭的不多，晚上表演的目的是吸引顾客。表面看是目的相反的（divergence in immediate purpose ），实际目的是一致的，都是为了在整个一天最好配置客流量

我的理解，关键在于这句话Behind this surface divergence in immediate purpose，把中午的行为和晚上的行为一起考虑，通俗来说，中午来的人多要分流，晚上来的人少要吸引，因此配备客流是主要目的。

 前面的其实都很好理解，这句容易忽略，我第一次做的时候，也没留意到。

楼上所言极是，我也忽略了这句话中的DIVERGENCE, 真是一语惊醒梦中人啊！
