GWD5-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?

A.      Unlike the Wildflower Inn, Martin’s Cafe serves considerably more meals on weekends than it does on weekdays.

B.       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.

C.      The profit per meal is higher, on average, for meals served at Martin’s Cafe than for those served at the Wildflower Inn.

D.      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.

E.       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.

ans: B, I choose C, totally lost...

在Martin没开之前大多数人从来都不出去就餐，Martin开了之后，很多人都出

去就餐了，但是由于Martin很多天人都满了，所以那些人只有去Wildflower Inn了，

因此Wildflower Inn的the average number of meals per night served 提高了

 C 选项,M餐厅赚的PROFIT高, 不一定就是价钱高, PROFIT跟价钱无关的.

而B选项, 因为M餐厅根本就没位置了给你坐下来吃饭了, 那客人还不如去W那里吃

饭, 这样就是提供了一个机会给W餐厅, 比较合理.
