Complete Question Explanation
Must Be True. The correct answer choice is (C).
For this question, we are being asked to use the statements in the advertisement to most strongly support the statement in an answer choice below. So we need to find an answer choice that is directly supported by the claims in the advertisement.
Answer choice (A): Sure, it's possible that BigFoods lowered their everyday prices before they made the comparison. But this is not something that we can know for sure based on the information in the advertisement.
Answer choice (B): Again, it's possible that the shoppers who go to Grocerytown prefer it for other reasons besides price. But this is not something we can confirm as true based on the statements in the advertisement.
Answer choice (C): This is the correct answer choice. If, as the advertisement states, a sample of items that shoppers buy most often cost 10 percent more at Grocerytown than at BigFoods, then, yes, it must be true that some of the items that shoppers buy most often at BigFoods are less expensive there than they are at Grocerytown.
Answer choice (D): It's possible that few of the items were on sale at Grocerytown at the time the comparison was made, but again, not something that can be proven with the statements in the advertisement.
Answer choice (E): It is also possible that the items that shoppers buy most often at BigFoods are different than the items shoppers buy most often at Grocerytown. But there is nothing in the advertisment to prove this statement.
