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
原文： diners seated on stools【 typically 】do not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables.
c选项：「a customer of the Hollywood」 who would choose to sit at a tall table「 would be an exception to the generalization」 about lingering
【 generalization=typically】，说明customer of hollywood跟正常的不一样，他们坐高桌子就是为了看明星，怎么可能呆一会就走呢？这个不是反驳前提，只是说明这种特殊情况！
