难易程度：★★
题目题材：商业，餐饮
题目：
A recent sales study indicated that consumption of seafood dishes in Bay City restaurants has increased by 30 percent over the past five years(1,2). Yet there are no currently operating city restaurants that specialize in seafood. Moreover, the majority of families in Bay City are two-income families, and a nationwide study(4) has shown that such families eat significantly fewer home-cooked meals than they did a decade ago but at the same time express more concern about eating healthily(5,6,8). Therefore, a new Bay City restaurant specializing in seafood will be quite popular and profitable(7).
提纲：
(1)The 30% increase might be insignificant because we do not know the base amount of seafood consumption in Bay City.
(2)The past current does not necessarily indicate that seafood consumption will continue to increase in the future.
(3)The increase in consumption of seafood dishes in normal restaurant does not indicate that a restaurant specializing in seafood will be profitable.
(4)The nationwide study showing trends among two-income families toward dining out and eating healthily does not necessarily apply to Bay City.
(5)The fact that two-income families express more concern about eating healthily does not indicate that they will necessarily patronize a new seafood restaurant.
(6)Without any detailed data concerning the number of home-cooked meals these two-income families eat currently and formerly, and without knowing the actual level of their concern about eating healthily, we cannot evaluate if these families are a key factor in determining the profitability of a restaurant specializing in seafood. Other families may eat even fewer home-cooked meals and are concerned more about eating healthily.
(7)The argument fails to provide any information about the expense of establishing such a restaurant.
(8)The fact that two-income families eat fewer home-cooked meals may lead to the popularity of catering services, delivered meals, but not necessarily that of a sit-down restaurant.
注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
