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
不能直接将问题归为削弱或加强，按一个模式找答案。这道题问的是：这个逻辑有问题因为它使人相信……
如果问哪个选项最大地削弱了推论，是D；但题干没有使人认为D是真的，D是对题干内容以外的因素进行推理作出的削弱。C，题干将人们在高桌上typically lingering longer的概念直接套用到好莱坞餐馆案例上，忽视了好莱坞餐馆的特殊性：人们过来是来看典礼的，你换了高桌，大家虽然为了更好的视野牺牲了坐的舒适性，但仍然会坚持到把典礼看完（不然不白来了嘛）。
