Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?
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
Lz:The stimulus tells us that both of these sources are accurate.If E is ture,then we got more tourists stay in Harristown!So E is the correct answer.What's more,we don't have enough information to know how many hotels in Harristown that are larger than Royal Arms Hotel.作者: bradfordchens 时间: 2012-6-9 09:24
First,we can't infer the larger the hotel,the more tourists stay in it.
Second,what is "第一个、第二个"?作者: robinyue 时间: 2012-6-11 20:35
From the stimulus, we know two facts:
(1) More tourists stay in hotels in Springfield than in neighboring city Harristown
(2) The largest hotel in Harristown claims that more tourists stay in there than in the Royal Arms Hotel in Springfield
Both facts are true. Then the stimulus says that "Report on Tourism" must be wrong by saying the blank (our answer choice). Apparently the Report must have said something controdictory to the two facts we just learnt.
Answer choice (E), "the Royal Arms Hotel is the only hotel in Springfield" is correct answer to fill in the blank because if (E) is true, then Fact (2) is true but Fact (1) must be false.作者: Serena11457 时间: 2012-6-13 06:33
关键点在这儿,人家题中问的是 be in error in stating that ___
也就是说ABCDE哪个说出来后使得题中给的两个条件不都accurate。
ABCD说出来都不影响两条件准确性,只有E使两条件不都accurate作者: lzlsnake 时间: 2012-6-14 06:21
