An advertisement states: Like Danaxil, all headache pills can stop your headache. But when you are in pain, you want relief right away. Danaxil is for you — no headache pill stops pain more quickly. Evelyn and Jane are each suffering from a headache. Suppose Evelyn takes Danaxil and Jane takes its leading competitor.
Which one of the following can be properly concluded from the claims in the advertisement?
(A) Evelyn’s headache pain will be relieved, but Jane’s will not.
(B) Evelyn’s headache pain will be relieved more quickly than Jane’s.
(C) Evelyn’s headache will be relieved at least as quickly as Jane’s.
(D) Jane’s headache pain will be relieved at the same time as is Evelyn’s.
(E) Jane will be taking Danaxil for relief from headache pain.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Like all good advertising pitches, this one appears to claim more than it actually does. The key to answering this question is the sentence “Danaxil is for you—no headache pill stops pain more quickly.” In other words, Danaxil is at least as fast as any other headache pill. So Evelyn’s headache will be relieved at least as quickly as Jane’s. The answer is (C). Choice (B) overstates the case. The advertisement doesn’t say that Danaxil stops headache pain more quickly than any other medicine, just that no other medication is faster.

I would say (C). Assuming the ad is completely true, then no other pill works quicker than Danaxil, but it is possible that a competing pill works AS FAST AS this one.
Translated into math terms, this is the difference between 'less than' and 'less than OR EQUAL TO', and the latter is the inequality being used in the ad. (C) conforms to this inequality better than B does, since it covers the 'OR EQUAL TO' possibility.
As for the other answers, well, they're all obvious distractions.
