With D, customers leave tall tables in less time, making tables available to serve more waiting customers. The statement supports instead of criticizes the argument.

With E, "with enough tall tables", how many is enough? and does "enough" equal to "some" in the original argument? Furthermore, if the restaurant starts to cater to gawkers instead of celebrities, the celebrities will stop coming.

Please, explain your answer.


I don't see anything wrong with E.

C- I don't see the relevance here.
D- Close, probably my next choice.

AB irrelevant.


I think E works b/c if the majority of the tables were tall, then customers couldn't see the celebrities. Unless we assume that the tables the celebrities sit in are the original tables. But this requires an additional jump so I think E is correct.

I go with D.

Concl - Therefore profits will increase.
The high stools will cause customers to leave table soon. D says that customer who spends time orders less and thats will cause profits to decline instead of increasing..

Whats OA?

Interestingly, I would go with A.

The assumption is that celebrities will continue to frequent the venue if the entire venue were set up for them to be seen...If in fact, the celebrities frequented the place because of its low lighting and low profile, then this approach would kill the resturaunt. Celebrities would seize to frequent the venue, and then normal customers would stop coming, and then everybody would end up next door where they have the comfy seats the dim lighting and the celebrities who stopped frequenting the other venue.

I would go with E

If everyone is seated at the same height, how does it offer any advantage to people who want to watch celebrities?
