What bothers me is that for a good portion of these questions, after narrowing down to 2 answers, the simpler answer wins. While we are looking for more real world like answer, as in this question, or a sophisticated answer, one that shows significance or intelligence in choosing, mostly the correct answer is closely related to the words in the question.

Really wish I could borrow your brain or download it
. I see the twist now, sense better food attracts more customers, the correct chice should relate to customers. B mentions restaurants owners and prices only.

When you narrow it down to 2 choices, and you think, say, choice B is correct, but you are worried about Choice D, never change your answer to D unless you have an epiphany. The reason you are worried about D isn't because you think it might be correct but usually it is because you can't explain why it is wrong. Know that the test-maker often makes it harder to explain why a choice is wrong than it is to see why the right answer is right (another reason you don't want to over-use POE).
The only situation where you should actually change your answer is if you have a big epiphany--a big light bulb: "oh, of course the right answer is D, why didn't I see that the first time!"
If you don't get that big lightbulb, then you should just stick with the answer you thought was correct.
