求教prep一题!

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 that








(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

怎么答案会是C呀?怎么说?我选了E又为啥错了呢?

B选项的好莱坞名人在餐馆吃饭消费的费用会抵偿了他们在餐馆长时间的逗留?

哦,这个我就明白了!

“C就指出了这个错误:(即使按照一般的餐饮惯例,坐高凳和高台的要留时间短一点,)但是这条惯 例在来好莱坞这里吃饭的人身上不成立。言外之意就是说,来好莱坞这里吃饭的人,坐高凳的合高台的时间起码不必标准凳的短,所以翻台率不会因为换了高台和高凳就增加,利润也不会因此增加。”

虽然否定原文前提这个是理解了,可是含义上的weaken还是不太理解,哈哈!
感谢你的专业回答!哈哈~

这题我也错选了E
要注意到E一个致命错误(E) with enough tall tables to accommodate all the Hollywood
原文只是说换掉some


这里选用lawyer的解答你看看


该题关键理解C的意思:来好莱坞餐馆的选择坐高凳子的顾客没有遵循关于逗留的一般说法(generalization about lingering)。generalization about lingering指的是diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables。即如果换成原文说的凳子,则客人逗留时间会长。怀疑原文两个前提中的一个(即认为逗留时间会短)。

原文只是说换掉some,换完后是否有enough的高凳子不知道,所以E无关。”

e是无关项,有些support感觉。
c指出了假设错误之处,正确。。。
