The result of attempting to whip cream in a blender is a thick, velvety substance rather than fluffy whipped cream. This is because a blender’s container does not let in enough air to whip cream effectively. Although using a special whipping-cream attachment in a blender can help somewhat, it cannot fully compensate for the container’s poor air intake.

Summary

Whipping cream in a blender results in a thick, velvety substance rather than fluffy whipped cream. This is because a blender’s container does not let in enough air to whip cream effectively. Using a special whipping-cream attachment in a blender can help somewhat, but it cannot fully compensate for the container’s poor air intake.

Notable Valid Inferences

Using a whipping-cream attachment in a blender is not sufficient to whip cream effectively.

A
Cream that has been whipped ineffectively generally becomes a thick, velvety substance rather than fluffy whipped cream.

Could be false. It is possible that cream that has been whipped ineffectively can become a substance that is not thick and velvety. We only know that cream specifically whipped in a blender becomes thick and velvety.

B
The use of a special whipping-cream attachment in a blender does not suffice to whip cream completely effectively.

Must be true. The stimulus tells that although this special attachment can help, the attachment cannot fully compensate for the container’s lack of air intake. Therefore, the special attachment is not sufficient to whip cream completely effectively.

C
When attempting to whip cream in a blender, using a special whipping-cream attachment always produces a fluffier result than could be obtained without using such an attachment.

Could be false. To claim that the attachment always produces a fluffier result is too extreme. The stimulus only tells us that the attachment can help somewhat.

D
The use of a special whipping-cream attachment in a blender can reduce the total amount of air required to whip cream effectively in that blender.

Could be false. We don’t have any information in the stimulus that suggests how the attachment functions. We only know that the attachment cannot fully compensate for the container, but we do not know in what ways the attachment actually compensates.

E
The use of a blender, with or without any special attachments, is not the most common way to attempt to produce whipped cream.

Could be false. To claim this is not the most common way is too extreme. It is possible that using a blender is the most common way, it’s just an ineffective way according to the stimulus.
