Which of the following best completes the passage below?
At large amusement parks, live shows are used very deliberately to influence crowd movements. Lunchtime performances relieve the pressure on a parkâ€™s restaurants. Evening performances have a rather different purpose: to encourage visitors to stay for supper. Behind this surface divergence in immediate purpose there is the unified underlying goal of______
(A) keeping the lines at the various rides short by drawing off part of the crowd
(B) enhancing revenue by attracting people who come only for the live shows and then leave the park
(C) avoiding as far as possible traffic jams caused by visitors entering or leaving the park
(D) encouraging as many people as possible to come to the park in order to eat at the restaurants
(E) utilizing the restaurants at optimal levels for as much of the day as possible

Please explain :-D

The underlying theme seems to conform with E. The amusement park tries to ensure that its restaurants are optimally utilized throughout the day.

The live shows are used to load level the restaurant activity .... lunch time, shows are used to relieve overcrowding ... in night time, shows are used to attract people to stay for dinner ... elese there would be overcorwding during lunch and very few customers during dinner ...

E !

I fell for D, thinking oh the main reason is so that they can get more people to eat at the restaurants.

I am so scared now, as I am constantly missing clues

Thanks anyways
