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.
在美术馆外面摆摊需要拿到的license特别贵,要求一个小时卖出去25个。现在在市政厅外卖摆摊每小时卖出去15个,所以如果跑美术馆外面摆摊肯定赔钱。问support
choice c, 美术馆外面地摊的数量并不会比市政厅外面地摊的数量多。irrelevant。摊位数量并不直接影响每个小时可以卖出去的食物数量
choice d, 去买食物的客人最有可能在美术馆还开放的时间段去买。irrelevant,无关客人的消费习惯
choice e, 更少经过美术馆的人会去买食物,比起经过市政厅的人。correct,说明即使把摊子搬去美术馆一个小时也可能卖出去的食物数量低于15个
