GWD-6-Q26:
Tourists have long complained that hotel accommodations in Midville are too expensive. Starting last year, the city council, hoping to attract more tourists, lowered the hotel tax rate to 5 percent of room charges. By the end of last year, Midville had taken in no less money from hotel taxes than it did the year before, so an examination of the hotel records will show that more tourists stayed in city hotels last year than the year before.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A The tourists who stayed in Midville hotels last year were aware that the hotel tax rate had been lowered.
B The average price of hotel accommodations in Midville was not significantly higher than in hotels in other cities either last year or the year before.
C The average length of a tourist’s stay in Midville hotels was not longer last year than it had been the year before.
D There were significantly more efforts to publicize Midville as a tourist destination last year than there had been the year before.
E On average, tourists in Midville did not spend significantly more on meals last year than they did on hotels accommodations.
答案C。为什么A，B错？
旅客抱怨宾馆太贵。
last year，降低了房间的消费税到5%
end of last year, 税 > the year before , 税 ---M 从宾馆取得的税收不比 the year before少
所以 ，last year tourist ， 多，> the year before tourist
如果C捂住not (没有not), 还有可能，没有not ---旅客呆在宾馆的平均时间去年（last year）比前年(the year before)长。
如果C有not ，那C怎么能够是假设呢？
totaly 不能理解
谢谢 |
