Which of the following is the most logical completion of the passage below?
Many companies have been pushing for a three-week extension of daylight saving time, which would mean that the sun would continue to set an hour later during the fall months. The owners of a chain of convenience stores, for example, expect to gain $15 million a year in additional sales, mostly from people who tend to______
(A) stay away from these stores after dark
(B) stay outdoors during the fall months
(C) spend more money in the fall
(D) spend less money in the fall
(E) shop at these stores when they are pressed for time

Option A
If DST is delayed by 3 weeks, then there would be more day light. Hence, people who stay away from stores after dark will still come for another three weeks. Let's assume the store closing time is 7PM. If DST is not adjusted, then 7PM will be still bright. If DST is adjusted, then 7PM will be dark. Hence if it is delayed by 3 weeks, then the store can attract those customers who are wary of shopping in the dark

(A) stay away from these stores after dark

These people would remain outdoors irrespective of daytime or night-time. IrrelevantBunuel
(C) spend more money in the fall

Premise: sun would set late in the fall months ---> days will be longer and the store will be operational in one extra hour of sunlight---> stores gain additional sales
Pre Thinking: How can this extra hour benefit the stores?
(A) stay away from these stores after dark
Correct, because if people tend to stay away from the stores after dark (post sunset) then the extra daylight will benefit the stores.
(B) stay outdoors during the fall months
Incorrect, Stay outdoors doesn't mean they go and buy
(C) spend more money in the fall
Incorrect, spend money on what? maybe they spend more money on travel or other stuff and not in store.
(D) spend less money in the fall
Incorrect, irrelevant and also opposite of what we are trying to imply
(E) shop at these stores when they are pressed for time
Incorrect, there is no relation between they being pressed for time and longer day time. Maybe they are pressed for time even when the days are shorter.
