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 county’s “Report on Tourism” must be in error in indicating that _______
A. more tourists stay in hotel accommodations in Harristown than stay in the Royal Arms Hotel
B. the Royal Arms Hotel is the only hotel in Springfield
C. there are several hotels in Harristown that are larger than the Royal Arms Hotel
D.some of the tourists who have stayed in hotels in Harristown have also stayed in the Royal Arms Hotel
E. some hotels in Harristown have fewer tourist guests each year than the Royal Arms Hotel has
答案是B！我分析了很久，于是脑袋晕了……有谁可以帮忙清晰一下思路？
文章意思是一对矛盾，于是错误就在于指出------B

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 the blank (our answer choice).  Apparently the Report must have said something controdictory to the two facts we just learnt.

Answer choice (B), "the Royal Arms Hotel is the only hotel in Springfield" is correct answer to fill in the blank because if (B) is true, then Fact (2) is true but Fact (1) must be false.

so must be one true and one false?
