Advertisement: Today's customers expect high quality. Every advance in the quality of manufactured products raises customer expectations. The company that is satisfied with the current quality of its products will soon find that its customers are not. At MegaCorp, meeting or exceeding customer expectations is our goal.

Which of the following must be true on the basis of the statements in the advertisement above?
(A) MegaCorp's competitors will succeed in attracting customers only if those competitors adopt MegaCorp's goal as their own.
(B) A company that does not correctly anticipate the expectations of its customers is certain to fail in advancing the quality of its products.
(C) MegaCorp's goal is possible to meet only if continuing advances in product quality are possible.
(D) If a company becomes satisfied with the quality of its products, then the quality of its products is sure to decline.
(E) MegaCorp's customers are currently satisfied with the quality of its products.

OA is C but my question is: This is Must Be True Ques type and in this ques type the answer that contains any external information apart from ques stem is wrong. Here in C the new information is "continuing advances in product is possible or not", then why C is correct.

"continuing advances are possible " is part of a condition . It does not mean that it is tru . Its just a condition which if true will make it possible for the company to stick to its goal
I Seek Explanations Not Answers

Is this and Inference or a Assumption question?

It's a must be true question.

To meet or exceed expectations(of quality) is the goal.
assumes quality can improve, hence C

Must Be True Questions? Are they in their own category or do they fit under Assumption or Inference?

Hi,

anytime a question asks you to draw a conclusion based on the statements in the stimulus, it's an inference question. Since this question asks us what "must be true on the basis of the statements... above", it falls clearly into that category.
