Connie: This season, new episodes of my favorite television program are even more entertaining than previous episodes; so the program should be even more popular this season than last season.
Karl: I disagree. After all, we both know that the chief aim of television networks is to maximize advertising revenue by increasing the popularity of their programs. But this season the television networks that compete with the one that shows your favorite program are showing reruns of old programs during the same time slot as your favorite program.
Which of the following, if true, would provide the most support for Karl’s response to Connie’s argument?
(A) What Connie considers entertaining does not necessarily coincide with what most television viewers consider entertaining.
(B) Entertaining television shows are not necessarily popular as well.
(C) Television networks generally schedule their most popular shows during the same time slots as their competitors’ most popular shows.
(D) Certain educational programs which are not generally considered entertaining are nevertheless among the most popular programs.
(E) The most common reason for a network to rerun a television program is that a great number of television viewers request the rerun.

(E) The most common reason for a network to rerun a television program is that a great number of television viewers request the rerun.
Supports Karl’s Claim. Karl’s point is strengthened by the fact that reruns of old programs are more popular with the public than Connie's favorite program. Hence, they will generate more popularity.

IMO B.
Connie's conclusion depends on POPULAR = ENTERTAINING.
Only B points that thing .
Its not always necessary that if a show is entertaining it has to to be popular.
According to me D is slippery.
Do not under estimate the word "certain".
Its not telling us about All !
