Pretzel vendor: The new license fee for operating a pretzel stand outside the art museum is prohibitively expensive. Charging typical prices, a vendor would need to sell an average of 25 pretzels per hour to break even. At my stand outside city hall, I average only 15 per hour. Therefore, I could not break even running a pretzel stand outside the art museum, much less turn a profit.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the pretzel vendor's argument?
There is currently no license fee for operating a pretzel stand outside city hall.
Pretzel vendors who operate stands outside the art museum were making a profit before the imposition of the new license fee.
The number of pretzel stands outside the art museum is no greater than the number of pretzel stands now outside city hall.
People who buy pretzels at pretzel stands are most likely to do so during the hours at which the art museum is open to the visitors.
Fewer people passing the art museum than passing city hall are to buy pretzels.
break even 盈亏平衡 不赔钱
much less turn a profit 更不必说盈利了
因为在museum外设立stand的执照很贵==》以typical的价格要每小时卖25个才能回本儿
city hall以外设立stand==》每小时只需要卖15个就可以盈利
结论：在museum外不可能盈利
gap：人家题上说了啊，如果每小时卖够25个，在museum外开一间stand还是有可能盈利的，所以要弥补的gap就是什么原因会导致卖不够25个==》人流量小balabala
