Moreover, diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables. Therefore, if the Hollywood replaced some of its seating with high tables and stools, its profits would increase.
The argument is vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it gives reason to believe that it is likely that C (A) some celebrities come to the Hollywood to be seen, and so might choose to sit at the tall tables if they were available (B) the price of meals ordered by celebrities dining at the Hollywood compensates for the longer time, if any, they spend lingering over their meals (C) a customer of the Hollywood who would choose to sit at a tall table would be an exception to the generalization about lingering (D) a restaurant's customers who spend less time at their meals typically order less expensive meals than those who remain at their meals longer (E) with enough tall tables to accommodate all the Hollywood's customers interested in such seating, there would be no view except of other tall tables 这道题的题目是什么意思,能不能给解释下?谢谢
这题是说,人们喜欢到Hollywood Restaurant去看名人,然后呢,这些人喜欢tall tables with stools,同时呢,坐在tall tables with stools吃饭的人用的时间比一般的短,所以老板就想啊,那么把standard-height tables换成tall tables with stools不就可以招揽更多生意了,然后profits就increase了。 C的意思是,虽然正常情况下坐在tall tables with stools吃饭的人用的时间比一般的短,但是来看明星的这帮人不是这样的。他们有可能因为看明星在店里吃饭就不走了,那这样的话老板就不能有空位招待其他客人了,那么profits就不会increase,甚至会decrease了
