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
some celebrities come to the Hollywood to be seen, and so might choose to sit at the tall tables if they were available
the price of meals ordered by celebrities dining at the Hollywood compensates for the longer time, if any, they spend lingering over their meals
a customer of the Hollywood who would choose to sit at a tall table would be an exception to the generalization about lingering
a restaurant's customers who spend less time at their meals typically order less expensive meals than those who remain at their meals longer
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
不懂D为什么错……
D选项假定了per meal的价格一样，但是文章里面并没有提到，所以是无效的。更极端点，你可以这样想，文章中根本没有提到restaurant卖什么，没说卖meal啊，也许只卖饮料酒什么呢。所以D是错的
这不是weaken题，也不是什么must be true. 这种题型是Flaw in The Reasoning Question，跟Method of Reasoning Question是一类，都是寻找文章中存在的逻辑缺陷。这种题目与weaken题的一个很大区别就是，答案不能出现文章以外的信息，否则一定错。这种题遵循以下两个原则：
1. 只能用题干内的内容选择正确答案
2. 所有出现提干以外信息的选型都是错的
感谢感谢！懂了
A为什么错呢。。。
错了 是B，
找flaw啊。。。
交流~restaurant不卖meals这个解释太牵强了，饭店卖meals不能认为是文章以外的信息，否则干嘛用restaurant这个单词。我觉得这样解释好一点，比如换stool前，文章只说less time less expensive,但是具体less多少time会导致less多少money并没有说明，导致影响PROFIT的两个因素time和meal的价格都是变量，依然处于无法确定的情况，可以这样理解——换桌子前人们平均待2小时，用20元，换桌子后人们平均待1小时，用19元，完全符合C选项所述，但PROFIT确实增加了
the problem of choice D is that this does not necessarily weaken the argument. People who stay less time order less expensive food which might cut into the profits. But if you have more people coming in to eat, and you can sit more people during your business hours, then ordering less expensive food won't be a problem. So this might be a problem, but not necessarily.
