According to promotional material published by the city of Springfield, more tourists stay in hotels in Springfield than stay in the neighboring city of Harristown. A brochure from the largest hotel in Harristown claims that more tourists stay in that hotel than stay in the Royal Arms Hotel in Springfield. If both of these sources are accurate, however, the “Report on Tourism” for the region must be in error in stating that ______.
A.the average length of stay is longer at the largest hotel in Harristown than it is at the Royal Arms Hotel
B.there is only one hotel in Harristown that is larger than the Royal Arms Hotel
C.more tourists stay in hotels in Harristown than stay in the Royal Arms Hotel
D.the Royal Arms Hotel is the largest hotel in Springfield
E.the Royal Arms Hotel is the only hotel in Springfield
答案是E
我是選B
因為若Harristown的唯一飯店比Royal Arms Hotel 大 (Springfield還有其他飯店)，這樣才有可能符合Harristown的飯店的宣稱擁有較多的入住觀光客，又符合Springfield的說法。
若答案E，我是這麼認為
Springfield宣稱觀光客住在該小鎮飯店的人數是比Harristown多。若Royal Arms Hotel 是Springfield唯一的飯店，而Harristown最大的飯店入住的觀光客又比Royal Arms Hotel來得多。這就和Springfield所作的推廣文宣(Springfield的飯店有較多的觀光客居駐)有衝突。這樣就不符合文中所提兩種說法(Springfield和Harristown最大的飯店)都是正確的？！
