Thanks for the question! So let’s first review what we’re told in the stimulus. It tells us that McElligott flash pasteurizes its apple juice by quickly heating and immediately rechilling it, since there were some problems with bacterial infections. There’s also another kind of pasteurization called intensive pasteurization which heats the juice for an hour and is more effective, but will destroy the original flavor. Also, citrus juices aren’t linked to bacterial infections and so remain unpasteurized.
Now we’re asked to find the answer choice that’s most strongly supported by the passage. (C) tells us that this statement is McElligott’s citrus juices retain more of the juices’ original flavor than do any pasteurized citrus juices. Here’s the thing: we know that intensive pasteurization destroys the original flavor. But does flash pasteurization? Or other types of pasteurization we haven’t heard about? No clue. So we can’t say that any pasteurized citrus juice is going to have more of its original flavor than McElligott’s, since we don’t even know how they’re pasteurized and what effects they’d have. The word “any” is just way too broad to be supported, and makes this answer choice incorrect.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
