Everybody agrees that a decline in the quality of television programming invariably results in a decrease in television viewership. Members of the Television Writers Union are threatening to go on strike this season to compel the television studios to meet certain demands. Clearly, the movie studios whose movies are shown in theaters should hope that the television writers will indeed decide to go on strike.
Each of the following must be assumed to be true in order for the conclusion above to be properly drawn EXCEPT:
(A) Television writers are not the same writers who write screenplays for movies shown in movie theaters.
(B) An increase in movie theater attendance will result in increased profits for movie theaters.
(C) A television writers’ strike would result in a decline in the quality of television programming.
(D) Movie studio profits are directly correlated to the profits of the movie theaters themselves.
(E) When people watch less television their movie theater attendance increases.

(A) Television writers are not the same writers who write screenplays for movies shown in movie theaters. - Correct.
1. Even if they are the same writers, no information is provided whether they would also go on strike for Movie theaters.
2. Even if they go on strike for Movie theaters, no information is provided for the relationship between theater quality and attendance/viewership.
3. Even if the quality is affected, no info is provided whether it will affect the theater attendance and ultimately, profits of movie theater.
Rest of the options are required assumptions, if that 'hope' means increasing profits for theater/studio.
