The advertisement says that BigFoods has figured out which items their shoppers buy most often. BigFoods then picked out some of those items, and compared the cost of that sample to the cost of the same items at Grocerytown, where they cost 10 percent more. The sample also used the regular, non-sale prices at BigFoods.

Based on this advertisement, we can conclude:

Some items cost at least 10 percent less at BigFoods than those same items cost at Grocerytown.

Some of the items that cost less at BigFoods are among those items most purchased by BigFoods shoppers.

This is not supported. The advertisement doesn’t mention anything about BigFoods lowering prices, nor does it say anything else that would lead us to that conclusion.

This is not supported. Based on the advertisement, we don’t know anything about why someone would prefer to shop at Grocerytown, for its prices or otherwise. We don’t even know if the prices are actually higher across the board at Grocerytown, or only on a few items sampled.

This is strongly supported. The advertisement explains that a sample of the most-purchased items at BigFoods overall cost less than at Grocerytown. That means that some individual most-purchased items must also cost less at BigFoods.

This is not supported. We simply have no way to know whether the items compared were on sale at Grocerytown or not; all we know is that the price of the sample was overall lower at BigFoods.

This is not supported. The advertisement doesn’t indicate if the items BigFood shoppers buy most often are also bought most often at Grocerytown or not, so we can’t come to a conclusion one way or the other.
