Advertisement: We at Vesuvius Vacuums always give our customers what they deserve, and they deserve the very best. That’s why we use only SuperTec air filters.
Which of the following, if true, most undermines the argument expressed in the advertisement?
A. In a test of three leading air filters, the SuperTec air filter performed at the same level as one of the filters and at a higher level than the other.
B. The SuperTec air filter is the only kind of air filter that will fit in the model of vacuum sold by Vesuvius Vacuums.
C. In a national study by a prominent consumer group, Vesuvius Vacuums gained a “superior” rating for product quality.
D. The customers of Vesuvius Vacuums have expressed no preferences concerning the type of air filter used in the product.
E. The specific air filter used in a given vacuum makes only a small difference in the long-term performance of that vacuum.

The answer should be A.
The stimulus states that the Company gives their customers the very best, and states that this is the reason why they use SuperTec filters only. In answer choice A, we are told that there is another
leading filter that is ranked higher than the SuperTec filter. Thus, the SuperTec filter is not the very best filter, and this answer choice undermines the argument.

Answer A states that the SuperTec air filter performed at the same level as one of the filters, how could we be sure then Supertec is the best we do not have enough data to prove it. Answer B does not state that it is not the best one, it is just saying that SuperTec air filter is the only one that fits the Vesuvius Vacuums. Quite confusing between A & B.
