Tourists have long complained that hotel accommodations in M 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, M 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 M hotels last year were aware that the hotel tax rate had been lowed. B the average price of hotel accommodations in M 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 M hotels was not longer last year than it had been the year before D there was significantly more efforts to publicize M as a tourist destination last year than there had been the year before. E on average, tourists in M did not spend significantly more on meals last year than they did on hotels accommodation.
B显然不对啊，B比较了这个M与其他市的住宿价格，这种比较irrelevant to the assumption，文中只说了M E比较了meals 和住宿，这个meals与tax（去年和前年）无关吧。。 C 只有去年的旅游者平均住房时间不比前年长，才能说明旅游者去年来的多，如果住的长，那么这个多付的费就可以弥补人数（比前年来的人数差不多或者减少）造成因为减税5%而m少收取的费用
