At present the Hollywood Restaurant has only standard-height tables.However, many customers come to watch the celebrities who frequent the Hollywood, and they would prefer tall tables with stools because such seating would afford a better view of the celebrities.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 thatC

(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


没见过的题型……我感觉我的逻辑真是……悲剧啊

Lz 别恐慌哇。
on the grounds that 就是 because that 的意思
The argument is vulnerable to criticism  直译就是： 以上观点很容易受到XXX的攻击，
你可以直接一眼扫过去，直接找答案，找一个weak 该argument 的choice~~
GMAC喜欢用很多变体来让题目或者题干看起来非常可怕，
但是基本题型还是没有变的~~

现在好莱坞的餐馆只有标准高度的餐桌
然而很多来用餐的顾客是为了看经常出没的明星，他们更喜欢高桌子，因为能看的更清楚。
而且坐在高桌子的人比坐在标准高度的餐桌的人用餐时间短。这样餐厅就可以盈利更多。

选项C说：那些来好莱坞看明星选高桌子吃饭的人是例外（就是说他们会花更长的时间，而不是题目中说的缩短时间）。所以餐厅不会因为这个盈利更多。

太悲剧了， 题中说顾客选择高板凳上， 我一看是stool就理解小马扎了， 还想着从下向上看能看脸看得清楚， 因为坐着不是很舒服， 所以坐一会就走了；

题干我也没读懂， 我还以为是问酒店老板的错误假设是什么？所以想成了flaw in the reasoning的题， 就选了A- 大明星来饭店就是让人看的， 所以选择坐在高处， 太符合逻辑了， 我真是毫不犹豫的选择了A

现在我气的都快哭了
