Hi there!

I know you found the Answer. But let me try explaining my take on this. I hope this helps!

I rarely get inference questions right(I got this one correct). Paying attention to minute details of the option choices is really important, because these be overlooked can easily get you to a wrong answer.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

(A) If a player holds the tennis racket anywhere other than the end of the handle, the player will experience a jolting sensation.- Firstly anywhere, neither the passage gives any hints about where to hold or how to hold so this would surely be distant inference- OUT

(B) The primary sweet spot is more effective at damping vibration than is the secondary sweet spot.-There is no comparison between either of the two spots, the author surely says it helps the player to get a smooth stroke but that more is disturbing, making the choice a bit too extreme

(C) Striking a tennis ball at a spot other than the center of percussion can result in a jarring feeling.- Even though I did not know what jarring means, I certainly know that, if the ball strikes at a spot other than center of percussion the player experiences a jolt/vibration whereas if the ball strikes the center of percussion they do not experience a jolt. So, I assumed jarring means jolt/vibration

(D) Striking a tennis ball repeatedly at spots other than a sweet spot leads to “tennis elbow.”- I did not come across anything as tennis elbow certainly, the player get a jolt but precisely elbow it could be anywhere like wrist, or shoulder, it is a bit too wide for interpretation. OUT

(E) If a player lets go of the racket at the moment of impact, the simultaneous forward and backward impetus causes the racket to drop straight to the ground.- Absolutely- OUT

Do let me know if the reasoning for the above question is wrong! I'd be happy to hear
