A consumer survey of independent feature films revealed that the percentage of action films that received the survey's highest rating was greater than the percentage of romance films that received the highest rating. Yet the survey organizers were probably erroneous in their conclusion that subject matter determines a feature film's popular appeal since the action films were all directed by filmmakers with at least one hit film to their credit, while the romance films were directed by newer filmmakers, many of who had not produced a previous film.
Each of the following, if true, supports the author's contention that the organizers misinterpreted the survey data EXCEPT
(A) the fact that one has directed a previous hit film is a positive indicator of the director's filmmaking talent
(B) consumer ratings of a new film are influenced by previous histroy of success of the film director
(C) action films generally require larger budgets than romance films are are thus prohibitive for many first-time film directors
(D) it is rare for the films of first-time directors to attain the popular appeal of films directed by filmmakers with at least one hit film to their credit
(E) directors who have produced a previous hit film generally obtain the largest budgets and attract the most talented and well-known actors for their subsequent films.
Premise : -- > % of highest rating of action film > highest rating of romance
Conclusion : Organizer misinterpretation --> experience directors are better than fresh directors
(C) action films generally require larger budgets than romance films are are thus prohibitive for many first-time film directors
This fills the gap between and strengthens authors statement why Action films are not given to first film directors
Please correct me if im wrong...
While replying to this post i felt what this questions actually expects?
Authors statement strengthener (Premise) and Conclusion weakener (Organizer interpretation)??
