Which of the following best completes the passage below?
A new modern dance production has recently been taken to the stage of a major theatre. The production's choreographer claims that almost none of the concepts, movements, or story lines are original, but are instead all directly inspired from the works of others. However, critics have already granted the production much acclaim stating that it is like nothing they've ever seen. This information clearly shows how __________.
A. good choreography must be combined with a talented and determined cast of dancers in order to create a successful dance production
B. the smaller individual components of certain entities can be detached and then rearranged to form a completely new creation
C. the choreographer utilized ideas belonging to unknown creations previously formulated by others
D. an idea that is removed from its original context and used in another is sure to lose the very essence of its charm
E. one should always strive for complete originality while refraining from basing ideas on those that have already been used
In order to resolve this question you have to give the answer which satisfy both the person argument.
Why?
Because in this argument we are not negating any one of the arguments. Neither production's choreographer nor critics. So let us start the option elimination.
A. good choreography must be combined with a talented and determined cast of dancers in order to create a successful dance production ->
Vague answer as it is not supporting anyone's argument.B. the smaller individual components of certain entities can be detached and then rearranged to form a completely new creation.
Exactly we thought, the first part that says that the smaller components are detached means it is from original component and last part "rearranged to form a completely new creation" supports critics argument "it is like nothing they've ever seen".C. the choreographer utilized ideas belonging to unknown creations previously formulated by others. ->
This sentence supports the choreographer but it is saying that critics may have missed about unknown creation. This cant be the answer as answer must balance the both.D. an idea that is removed from its original context and used in another is sure to lose the very essence of its charm. ->Clearly OOS.
E. one should always strive for complete originality while refraining from basing ideas on those that have already been used. ->
This statement is saying what we should do, which is not asked here.
