The statement suggests that Greg had a bad night out at the bar, and he decided to buy a new cue stick. The inference made here is that he played billiards poorly, which is a bridging inference since it connects two pieces of information. This inferred fact is represented prominently because it is not directly stated but implied through the context. Therefore, the best choice is C, a bridging inference that would be represented as prominently as if it had actually been presented.
