So specifically for question 6 about the trap answer saying the headache will be relieved more quickly compared to the real answer that says at least as quickly, as a general rule can it be said that when there are two answers that are basically the same (for example, in this question, B&C are basically the same answer), you should always choose "some/at least" over "more"? Because saying some/at least is easier to prove? If not, in what situation would you choose "more" over "some"?

You raise an interesting point about some/at least being easier to prove. However, I would most strongly suggest not trying to apply any such blanket rules to the exam. Language and logical structure on the LSAT is infinitely malleable. This means that a single tweak in the passage could have made B correct, had the advertisement stated that ties were not possible.
In general though, weaker language is easier to prove always. But it doesn't mean that it is more often correct than stronger language. The strength of the answer choice we select should be based on what we can gather from the passage and also from what the question requires.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
