Solution

The conclusion is correct. Here's why:

  1. Hardcover books are shipped 3 days after an order is placed.
  2. Soft cover books always take at least 1 day less than hardcover books to ship after the order is placed. So, soft cover books are shipped 2 days after an order is placed.
  3. Special apparel orders take as long as or longer than hardcover books to ship after the order is placed. So, special apparel orders are shipped 3 days or more after an order is placed.

Therefore, special apparel orders take longer to ship than soft cover books.
