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

哪位大侠可以详细讲一下这道题的具体思路阿？谢谢

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 somthing.  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.

你的意思是a,b,c,d如果为真，两个事实也为真？咱中文说成不

他的意思是 在两个事实也为真的情况下， a,b,c,d可能为真   但是E一定是假的

我觉着这题的意思是这样的~A是无关选项~如果选BCD前提1和前提2都是~不一定~被推翻的，就是原文的所有东西都可能是对的~只有在选E的情况下，两个前提中的第二个一定是错的
