Q8:

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?

 

1. Unlike the Wildflower Inn, Martin’s Cafe serves considerably more meals on weekends than it does on weekdays.
2. 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.
3. The profit per meal is higher, on average, for meals served at Martin’s Cafe than for those served at the Wildflower Inn.
4. 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.
5. 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.

这个题目答案选B，可是B我觉得不能helps to explain the increase啊，似乎根本没有关系啊。

M引来的顾客没有以前没来过R吃饭，说明他们是新顾客，而且这些新顾客过剩，剩下的就去W就餐了，给W带来新生意
