B maybe? I have no idea. This is a service for hotels and restaurants who use a lot of linen during the day (sheets, towels, tablecloths, napkins, etc.) This service will pick up those items and wash them for the businesses and then return them. So - A - it doesn't mention that drying is free. in the ad. В - maybe? Because these types of businesses do have busy daily routines and will need daily laundry services? But not a great answer. C - it doesn't mention this anywhere in the ad D - in English, carpets don't get "lent." Carpets are pretty permanent and you don't let someone borrow them. Also, the ad makes no reference to carpeting. E - it doesn't mention this anywhere in the ad. (Starch, which is common in laundry, would make things stiff. But it doesn't mention starch anywhere in the ad, either.) F - why would you fold dirty clothes? Also, it doesn't mention this in the ad. G - also a maybe. But the majority of the washing they do isn't garments. It's linens. H - doesn't mention this in the ad. This is a horrible test.

G is the closest answer. The advertisement offers pickup, washing, drying, folding, and delivery for uniforms, linens, drapes and similar cloth items.

This is a stupid test with 5 ridiculous answers, two "temptation" answers (A and B) for students who recognize the words "drying" or "washing" but don't understand the text. Of course, G is the "obvious" answer for students who understand that garments (clothes) are clean after washing.
