Although there are approximately fifty movies released per month, the Cinart movie theater only shows the four most popular movies each month. The management of the Cinart plans to increase the number of movie tickets sold by increasing the number of films it shows to include the seven most popular movies.
Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest criticism of the management's plan?
A. The quality of the two most popular movies tends to be similar, with neither movie being particularly better.
B. The three most popular movies are responsible for almost all movie tickets sold in any given month.
C. Movie-goers tend to appreciate less popular movies as more popular movies become too predictable.
D. Less popular movies may return less profit to the movie studio because they are often results of poor budgetary and artistic management.
E. The most popular movie in any given month may be the most popular movie in the next month as well.

Plan - Increase the number of movies shown to increase the number of tickets sold.
We need to find a reason so as to say why increasing the number of movies shown won't help boost ticket sales or weaken the statement above!
A. The quality of the two most popular movies tends to be similar, with neither movie being particularly better.
Doesn't answer the question above.
B. The three most popular movies are responsible for almost all movie tickets sold in any given month.
Yes, if only the three movies are responsible for all the sale of tickets. Increasing the number of movies won't help here!
C. Movie-goers tend to appreciate less popular movies as more popular movies become too predictable.
Doesn't answer the question above.
D. Less popular movies may return less profit to the movie studio because they are often results of poor budgetary and artistic management.
Profit is irrelevant!
E. The most popular movie in any given month may be the most popular movie in the next month as well.
Irrelevant!
IMO, (B)!

Break the Argument:
Background:
Although there are approximately fifty movies released per month, the Cinart movie theater only shows the four most popular movies each month.
Conclusion: The management of the Cinart plans to increase the number of movie tickets sold by increasing the number of films it shows to include the seven most popular movies.
Assumption: People want to see other popular movies
Question: Weaken
A. The quality of the two most popular movies tends to be similar, with neither movie being particularly better.
It is about revenue not about quality
B. The three most popular movies are responsible for almost all movie tickets sold in any given month.
'for almost all' is important
C. Movie-goers tend to appreciate less popular movies as more popular movies become too predictable.
Appreciation doesn't equate to ticket sell
D. Less popular movies may return less profit to the movie studio because they are often results of poor budgetary and artistic management.
out of scope
E. The most popular movie in any given month may be the most popular movie in the next month as well
'may be' is the issue.
Answer : OB
