For each of the five feature films premiering last July 4, the amount of money earned on opening day was considerably less than had been predicted by movie company executives. One of these movies, the movie starring Ty Fields, however, earned more on opening day than any previous Ty Fields movie had earned on its premiere. If the above statements are true, which of the following can be properly concluded on the basis of them? A .Movie executives were less accurate in their predictions of the amount the Ty Fields film would earn on opening day than with predictions for other movies opening that day. B. Ty Fields' movie earned more on July 4 than did any of the other movies opening that day. C. Ty Fields was the only actor whose movie earned more on opening day than any of his previous films had earned on their premieres. D. The amount movie executives predicted that this Ty Fields movie would earn on opening day was higher than any previous Ty Fields movie had earned on its premiere. E. The movie executives' prediction for the Ty Fields movie was higher than their predictions for other movies opening July 4. Still cant figure out how the execs predicted anything?

If the above statements are true, which of the following can be properly concluded on the basis of them?
A .Movie executives were less accurate in their predictions of the amount the Ty Fields film would earn on opening day than with predictions for other movies opening that day.
B. Ty Fields' movie earned more on July 4 than did any of the other movies opening that day.
C. Ty Fields was the only actor whose movie earned more on opening day than any of his previous films had earned on their premieres.
D. The amount movie executives predicted that this Ty Fields movie would earn on opening day was higher than any previous Ty Fields movie had earned on its premiere.
E. The movie executives' prediction for the Ty Fields movie was higher than their predictions for other movies opening July 4.
Still cant figure out how the execs predicted anything? A,B, and E all have new information, and are incorrect. C does not give information about the other actors. D is the Correct answer. This new Ty Fields movie earned more money than the previous movies of this actor. In spite of that, this new record was under the amount predicted by the executives.

If the above statements are true, which of the following can be properly concluded on the basis of them?
A .Movie executives were less accurate in their predictions of the amount the Ty Fields film would earn on opening day than with predictions for other movies opening that day.
B. Ty Fields' movie earned more on July 4 than did any of the other movies opening that day.
C. Ty Fields was the only actor whose movie earned more on opening day than any of his previous films had earned on their premieres.
D. The amount movie executives predicted that this Ty Fields movie would earn on opening day was higher than any previous Ty Fields movie had earned on its premiere.
E. The movie executives' prediction for the Ty Fields movie was higher than their predictions for other movies opening July 4.
Still cant figure out how the execs predicted anything? Let us assume following were the amounts execs predicted: $1000, $2000, $3000, $4000, $5000 in which the last amount corresponds to Ty Fields. Now, assume following are the amounts received: $100, $200, $300, $400, $500 We know that Ty Fields movie's highest collection so far (i.e., for all movies) is $500. What does it mean? If $500 is greater than any previous collection, obviously $5000 is greater than any previous collection. This is what option D says. Hope now it is clear.

Can't the text in bold imply that the answer is C?
