confused... what is this Q about?

"The new HitItFar driver is the only golf club that uses space-age Titanium-Kryptonium alloy to
strengthen its head. This driver is SO good, the last 12 winners of the major tour championships
have all recently switched to it! Isn't it time for you to add power to your swing and distance to
your drives? Trade in your old driver today -- and HitItFar tomorrow!" All of the following claims
are either implied or made explicitly in the above advertisement EXCEPT:
"¢ Switching to the HitItFar driver will improve your play.
"¢ The HitItFar driver helped the last 12 major championship winners achieve their victory.
"¢ Major championship winners are experts and know what constitutes a great golf club.
"¢ Your existing driver is inferior to the HitItFar driver.
"¢ Only HitItFar golf clubs have Titanium-Kryptonium alloy in the head of their drivers.
Regards,
Sach

Its a straight B.

Nowhere in the stem is it mentioned that the HitItFat driver helped championship winners achieve their victory.

It says either IMPLIED or explicitly stated.

This means you need to draw a conclusion/inference assuming everything stated in the premise is TRUE.

You need to find out which of the answer choices is also true based on stem given.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Ankit

It is a MUST BE TRUE question. Four options must be true according to the passage and one option is that may-be/may-not-be true. We asked to find that option.

This driver is SO good, the last 12 winners of the major tour championships have all recently switched to it

If the winners have recently switched to HitItFar driver, it means that they didn't use the HitItFar driver when they won the tournaments. Choose B.
