考题讲解

情景：略

推理：若只看题目问法，本题是一种解释题。初看像是一个评估类题目，但是细看之下，我们发现，题目问的是如果上述两个现象都是对的，那么下列哪个现象一定是错的。所以，推理文段其实没有结论，是一道演绎推理。

选题方式：略

选项分析：

A选项：游客在Harristown最大的酒店的居住时间要比在Royal Arms Hotel长。原文中根本没提到过居住时间的问题，所以本选项不一定必错。

B选项：在Harristown比Royal Arms Hotel大的酒店只有一家。原文没有提到过单独酒店谁比较大的问题。所以本选项不一定必错。

C选项：在Harristown住的游客比在Royal Arms Hotel住的人多。本选项有可能，因为原文直说过两者总体的对比，并没有说过Harristown总体和Royal Arms Hotel单个酒店的游客多少比较。

D选项：Royal Arms Hotel是Springfield最大的酒店。原文中根本没提到过Royal Arms Hotel大小的问题，所以本选项不一定必错。

E选项：Correct. Royal Arms Hotel是Springfield唯一的酒店。本选项肯定错。因为如果Royal Arms Hotel是唯一酒店，那么由于Harristown最大的酒店声称住在它这里的游客比住在Springfield的Royal Arms酒店的人多，则会有Harristown的游客多于Springfield的游客。这和原文是相悖的。
