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
C：去Hollywood坐tall table的人是不会停留很长时间的人。
原文信息：1. 有很多customer去Hollywood看明星，而且这些customer喜欢tall table； 2. 坐在tall table上进餐的人停留的时间更短，言外之意，即是相同时间内，Hollywood能够容纳更多的customer。结论：将Hollywood的standard table换成tall table，profit会增加。
很明显，此处作者认为坐在tall table上看明星的人不会停留时间太长，否则就不能在同一时间内招待更多客人。即C选项。
