In order to promote off-season business, Mt. Dunmore Lodge made the "Welcome Back" offer to their winter guests: guests who rent a room for atleast a week during ski season can come back during the summer and get 25% off the standard summer price of any room they rent. After the summer passed, the owners of the lodge determined that the majority of their guests had taken advantage of the offer and paid the reduced rates. However, they were surprised to find they still managed to rent more rooms at full price than they did at the discount rate.
Which of the following reason may resolve the discrepancy in the above argument?
A) Most of the guests who stayed at Mt. Dunnmore Lodge during the winter didn't stay for a full week contradicts what's in the passage, A can't be right
B) Those guests taking advantage of the discount were more likely to bring their families with them then were those guests who were paying full price. correct
C) Some of the guests who received the "Welcome Back" discount also received a 10% rate reduction has nothing to do why most of the rooms were not discounted during the summer
D) In order to pay for the construction of a new gymnasium and a new pool, the owners if the lodge raised their summer prices considerably irrelevant
E) On average, guests who took advantage of the offer spent more money at the hotel on additional goods and services than guests who paid full price for their rooms irrelevant

The Answer is B. During the winter, the guests received the discount to come back. Let's say person X stayed in the room. In the summer, person X came back to take advantage of the discount. During the winter, he only needed one room for himself. Since he brings family, he will most likely need 2 or 3 rooms. B solves the discrepancy in the passage.
