This question is from MGMAT CAT 4 online test. Could anybody explain this?

According to hotel guest statistics collected by the state Tourism Bureau, the town of Sunville is the most visited weekend destination in the state for out-of-state tourists. The Tourism Bureau also indicates that the Shadyville Inn in the town of Shadyville is the largest and most popular hotel in the state for weekend visits by out-of-state tourists. Shadyville is in the same state, but on the other side of the state many hours away by car.
If the Tourism Bureau is correct in all of its statements, then it must NOT be the case that _______________.
A. the Shadyville Inn is the only hotel in Shadyville
B. the Shadyville Inn is the most expensive hotel in the state.
C. there is only one hotel in Sunville
D. there are at least two hotels in Sunville
E. visitors to the Shadyville Inn do not also visit Sunville on other weekend trips

Thank you.

Did you get this on a test you took recently?

You can see a discussion of this problem here: post10076.html

This problem originally appeared in our CR book, but we removed it from the most recent edition because of the problems I discuss in the post linked above. It was supposed to be edited before being added to the CAT pool. If you can tell me when you saw this on your test, I'd appreciate it!

Thank you Stacey for the discussion link. I never had thought in that way you mentioned but now question sounds illogical...

Test was taken on: March 28, 2009. Question Number 34 (600-700 range). Let me know if you need further information.

Thanks for the information; we'll look into it further.

Thanks, guys - we pulled it from the pool about a week ago (along with a bunch of others that had been identified as "suspect"). I'm in the process of going through them now to either fix and return them to the pool or dump them. :)
