Which of the following best completes the passage?
Other supermarkets may contain delis or coffee bars, but the powerful blend of specialty food market with café that has made Duetto Market so popular sets the standard for what is sure to be a national trend.Customers dining in the café sample expensive specialty foods in expertly prepared entrees and appetizers before purchasing raw materials in the market. Owners consolidate costs by ordering larger quantities of spices, meat, produce, and cheeses, some of which are then used in preparing food for the café. As more café and supermarket owners follow this pattern of blended options, they can expect not only to please a wider variety of customers, but also to_______________
A Increase their profit margins by consolidating the costs of food products they order from wholesalers.
B See the value of their stocks rise as more investors participate in a fashionable marketing concept.
C Face the expense of renovating existing spaces to accommodate the combination of prepared and raw foods.
D Receive more attention from media who publish restaurant reviews.
E Gain more customers who are interested in dining as well as shopping.

What an odd question...may I ask for the source?
Between A and E. I picked E.
I didn't pick A because I do not see a clearcut reason why the owners consolidate the costs of food. While it is possible that the owners motive is to increase profit, affordability may be the reason as well. If the latter is the case, then profit margin won't increase.
In E, the statement suggests that the Duetto Market was popular; thus, I picked E because of the clearcut reason.
