Q39:

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

似乎没有讨论连接。。。不太懂为什么选D

report on tourism是指什么呀

谢谢

Springfield强调在当地的宾馆旅客入住人数要比在Harristown的多

Harristown强调在当地最大的宾馆入住人数要比在Springfield的Royal Arms Hotel的多

说的不是一码事儿

我觉得2楼没有讲清楚，我来解释一下，请大虾指教。

Springfield: 人数in hotels in S > 人数 in Harristown  (1)

The largest hotel in Harristown: 人数 in the largest hotel in Harristown 〉人数 in RA hotel in S  (2)

如果如E所说，RA hotel是S市唯一一家hotel，那么由式1，2 可得以下不等式：

人数in the largest hotel in H 〉人数 in H

一个宾馆内所有客人的人数怎么可能大于宾馆所在城市中所有的人数呢？所以E必错。
