Restaurant reviewer: In response to lagging sales based on a reputation of poor quality, Lanzillotti’s Pizzeria launched a city-wide marketing campaign reintroducing its pizza as being made with organic ingredients and flavorful sauces, evidence of a new emphasis on quality pizza. But after visiting Lanzillotti’s last night I can only conclude that the reintroduction was simply empty advertising language, as my pizza tasted no better than the pizza I had eaten at Valvano’s earlier in the week.

Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the reviewer’s conclusion?

Correct answer marked below

Valvano’s Pizza is not known for using organic ingredients in its pizzas.

Other diners on the same evening also reported that Lanzillotti’s pizza was no better than Valvano’s.

Valvano’s Pizza is not considered among the highest-quality pizzas in town.

Correct

The reviewer ordered the most popular pizza that Lanzillotti’s offers.

Lanzillotti’s appetizers and desserts were not made with organic ingredients.
