Hi ihenson!
In general, there shouldn't be any assumptions necessary for this type of question (must be true). That is, in order to arrive at the correct answer choice, one shouldn't need to make any assumptions. So for language like "quickly heating," we don't know for sure any specifics in terms of how many hours or minutes this is, but we can know, for example, that "quickly heating" is faster than "slowly heating."
In the end, we aren't given much of a connection between McElligott's "flash pasteurization" in the first sentence and the "intensive pasteurization" discussed in the second sentence. We're told that the first type is what McElligott uses for its apple juice, and are also told that the second type would destroy the flavor of a juice. Crucially, we're additionally told that the second type "eliminates bacteria more effectively than does any other method." So since McElligott is using a method other than intensive pasteurization, we can conclude it is more likely to contain bacteria than apple juice that underwent intensive pasteurization.
