Restaurant critic: Most people agree that the food at Marva's Diner is exceptional, while the food at the more popula...

I think the common thread between all these discussion posts is confusion as to which discrepancy you're being tested on. "This" in the conclusion is the source of the confusion because there could be two discrepancies. As Jacob said, one discrepancy is something like, "It is no surprise the more popular restaurant makes lower quality food," which is the correct discrepancy. But the discrepancy that jumped out to me was something like, "it is no surprise the one with lower quality food is more popular." The stimulus provides that it's because of the convenient location but that doesn't fully explain why the convenient location is a more influential factor in a restaurants popularity than the good food which is why I chose E. If there is a relationship between location and popularity as the stimulus provides, but then we say there is no relationship between good food and popularity, that is enough to make the popularity of the lower quality restaurant unsurprising. I'm not arguing for the correctness of E, I just want to know how y'all were able to settle on the discrepancy Jacob et al. recognizes but us in the discussion posts weren't.
