The tourism commission has conducted surveys of hotels in the most popular resorts, with the ultimate goal of reducing the guests who end up expressing overall dissatisfaction with the service in the hotels.

A. with the ultimate goal of reducing the guests who end up expressing overall dissatisfaction with the service in the hotels
B. with the goal to ultimately reduce the number of guests who end up expressing overall dissatisfaction with the hotels' service
C. ultimately with the goal to reduce expressions of overall dissatisfaction by the guests with the hotel service
D. in an ultimate attempt to reduce the number of guests that ends up expressing overall dissatisfaction with the hotels' service
E. with the ultimate goal of reducing the number of guests who express overall dissatisfaction with the hotels' service

请大神求解， OG解释上说 A “Reducing the guests is clearly not the intent of the sentence; it should be phrased as reducing the number of guests or the expressions of dissatisfaction.“。可我没懂reduce number of guest 和 reduce guests 的区别。。。

这个应该是语意的精确性。中文讲话不是特别严谨，所以觉得减少顾客和减少顾客数量没有差别。但在英文里比较在意用语准确性，顾客本身是不能被减少的（emm减少他们的腿或者头吗23333），只有顾客的数量可以被减少。这个和平行考点比较像，比如写“印度的人口比中国多”是不对的，应该是“印度的人口比中国的人口多”这样子。
有不对的请指正。
