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   .

1. the average length of stay is longer at the largest hotel in Harristown than it is at the Royal Arms Hotel.

2. There is only one hotel in Harristown that is larger than the Royal Arms Hotel.

3. More tourists stay in hotels in Harristown than stay in the Royal Arms Hotel.

4. The Royal Arms hotel is the largest hotel in Springfield

5. The royal arms hotel is the only hotel in Springfield.

这个没见大家讨论，答案是e我觉得应该是d，大家怎麽看？

E是对的吧。我的理解是一篇文章说住在A市的旅游者比B市的多，另一篇说B市的一家酒店声称它比一家在A的酒店客人多。如果2个都是对的。那很显然如果说A市只有那一家酒店肯定错了，因为如果这样的话，B市一家酒店的人就比A市的人多了。

B不一定错呀，可以是事实，不跟任何条件矛盾。

文中说：more tourists stay in hotels in Springfield than stay in the neighboring city of Harristown

说明更多的游客住在S市的酒店里，复数名词说明S的酒店不止一家。如果H市最大的一家酒店住的游客比S市的某间酒店多，而同时S市总的游客数又比H市多的话，唯一可能的是H市在拿自己最大的一家酒店和S市的某间规模较之小酒店比，但是S市还有更多大的酒店，因此S市的总的游客多。

E在说S市只有一间酒店，显然与文中不一致，而且也不能解释为什麽该S市的游客数多。
