In a town containing a tourist attraction, hotel and restaurant revenues each increased more rapidly over the past year than did revenue from the sale of passes to the attraction, which are valid for a full year. This led those in charge of the attraction to hypothesize that visitors were illicitly selling or sharing the passes.
Each of the following, if true, helps to undermine the hypothesis of those in charge of the tourist attraction EXCEPT:
(A) During the past year other tourist attractions have opened up in the area.
(B) Those possessing passes made more frequent trips to the attraction last year than in previous years.
(C) While the cost of passes is unchanged since last year, hotel and meal prices have risen.
(D) The local board of tourism reports that the average length of stay for tourists remained unchanged over the past year.
(E) Each pass contains a photograph of the holder, and during the past year these photographs have usually been checked.

Bunuel
IMHO (D) clearly...
(A) If other tourist attracts opened, then visitors will be attracted to those centres and will not be interested in old centers, leading to hotel expenses of those visitors without purchasing passes of old attractions .
(B) If visitors paid more visits then footfall increased (Without purchase of new passes for the attractions) and visitors continued to have meals at the Hotels and Restaurants (increasing their revenue) .
(C) If meal prices of hotels increased it will lead to increased revenue of Hotels.
(D) If average length of stay remains the same then it means people stayed the same length however there is an increase in meals at hotels , How can it be possible, without additional purchase of passes ? Somthing is fishy .
(E) If passes contain photograph there is no question of illicitly selling or sharing the passes as they will be easily be caught.
Hence, IMHO (D) must be correct !!!!

Each of the following, if true, helps to undermine the hypothesis of those in charge of the tourist attraction EXCEPT:
(A) During the past year other tourist attractions have opened up in the area. - WRONG. Means that tourist had other options to choose from, leading to less or stagnancy in visit to older attraction place.
(B) Those possessing passes made more frequent trips to the attraction last year than in previous years. - WRONG. 2nd best choice for me. Tricky first, but it says the same thing as passage said that passes might have been shared. Anyone with better logic please share inputs.
(C) While the cost of passes is unchanged since last year, hotel and meal prices have risen. - WRONG. Not the best of the logic to counter the argument's conclusion but it does attacks the part of the passage which is about increase in revenue of hotels and restaurants.
(D) The local board of tourism reports that the average length of stay for tourists remained unchanged over the past year. - CORRECT. How come than revenue increased for hotels and restaurants? This does not tells anything about that but confuses the situation more. But it indeed tells that passes might have been shared or sold. So, it attacks the premise but not the conclusion.
(E) Each pass contains a photograph of the holder, and during the past year these photographs have usually been checked. - WRONG. If checked then sharing and selling claim does not make much sense.
