How can it be possible that someone on earth sets DST and the sun will dance accordingly to this tune ? Delaying DST by 3 weeks will still mean sun will set at the scheduled time so how will it help these stores ? It will still be dark and people will not show up.

The whole point of CR questions is to strengthen/weaken. It's not real anyway. GMAT is testing your reasoning skills not general knowledge skills.

So people may or may not go to these stores with the additional daylight hours and even if they do go they may or may not purchase from these stores. Maybe these people go there to just window shop?

chiplesschap, I had a similar initial misunderstanding, so I hope my breakdown clarifies why (A) is correct:

The passage refers to two scenarios: Fall-Time (FT) and Not-Fall-Time (NFT). During FT, the sun sets an hour later compared to NFT, meaning daylight extends further into the evening.

To illustrate, let’s take a simple example:

  • In NFT, the sun sets at 5 pm.
  • In FT, due to the shift in daylight saving time, the sun sets at 6 pm (one hour later).

It’s important to note that we aren’t altering the way the sun moves relative to the earth; we’re simply adjusting the clock. This effectively "shifts" time by an hour, providing more daylight during the evening.

Implication:

During FT, people will have more daylight after their typical work hours, extending the period they can comfortably shop without it being dark.

I don't get this question. I understand that however the time is adjusted, there would be an exact amount of sun light during the day, and people will only shop during sunlight. So Option A is not relevant. Bunuel
