A restaurant critic for a newspaper examines the prices restaurants charge for their meals and discovers that
the restaurants that raised their prices most over the
past year also have the longest wait times for tables
Which statement is a reasonable explanation for this
relationship?
不
O Increasing prices may cause customers to want to
visit those restaurants more.
O Restaurants that do not raise their prices may not
see an increase in customers.
O When customers wait longer for tables, they are
more likely to pay higher prices.
O Higher-quality restaurants might charge more for
meals and could also have longer wait times.

Higher-quality restaurants might charge more for meals and could have longer wait times.

Explanation: The first one doesn't make sense because you wouldn't want to go to a restaurant and pay more. The second one is wrong because it's implying that if they raise their prices, they will have more customers, which is unlikely. The third one is also wrong because you could go to Olive Garden and have to wait for a table, that doesn't mean they'll pay more if they wait longer, so the answer has to be the last one. If you know who Gordan Ramsay is, he charges more for his food at his restaurants and many customers have to wait a long time, so to them it's "worth it."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
