An animated television program traditionally hired impersonators to provide voices for celebrities portrayed on the program. One celebrity portrayed on the program, angered by the use of an impersonator, sued the producers. The court ruled in favor of the celebrity and prohibited the show from using impersonators. Because the producers will now have to pay celebrities much more than they have paid impersonators, the program will be much more expensive to produce.
Which of the following assumptions underlies the above argument?
A. The impersonators are so talented that most viewers of the program cannot distinguish them from the celebrities that they impersonate.
B. Animated television programs that feature the voices of actual celebrities attract more viewers than do those that feature impersonators.
C. Some celebrities refuse to appear on the show.
D. The producers of the show will continue to hire impersonators.
E. Celebrities will continue to be portrayed on the show.

The main assertion is that due to the producers being prohibited from hiring impersonators, they will have to hire celebrities who will charge high fees and therefore the program will be more expensive to produce. The underlying assumption is that celebrities will continue to be portrayed on the show, because if not, the program wouldn't be so expensive to produce without having to pay the celebrities. The answer is E

Conclusion :
Now the animated program is much more expensive
Given:
1. Now they have to hire Celebrities and pay them more than the impersonator
Which of the following assumptions underlies the above argument?
A. The impersonators are so talented that most viewers of the program cannot distinguish them from the celebrities that they impersonate.
Very irrelevant to the passage and conclusion
B. Animated television programs that feature the voices of actual celebrities attract more viewers than do those that feature impersonators.
Yes, I think this is trap because even though celebrities can attrack more views might increase the revenue but it does not talk about the production cost is main conclusion
C. Some celebrities refuse to appear on the show. -
"Some" means how many does that offset the cost,
D. The producers of the show will continue to hire impersonators.
Not legally allowed
E. Celebrities will continue to be portrayed on the show.
So conclusion is true if this happens
