Filmmaker: Many people feel that independent films have more integrity as works of art than films produced by major studios, since independent films are typically less conventional than major studio films. However, like major studios, all independent filmmakers need to make profits on their films, and this affects the artistic decisions made in creating most independent films. Thus, most independent films do not have absolute integrity as works of art.
The filmmaker's conclusion is properly drawn if which one of the following is assumed?
(A) A creation has absolute integrity as a work of art if the artistic decisions made in creating it were unaffected by the need to make profits.
(B) If any of the artistic decisions made in creating something were affected by the need to make profits, then that creation does not have absolute integrity as a work of art.
(C) The creations of individuals have more integrity as works of art, on average, than those of groups.
(D) The unconventionality of a creation has no bearing on its integrity as a work of art.
(E) A creation has no integrity as a work of art unless the artistic decisions made in creating it were unaffected by views about what is conventional.

Thus, most independent films do not have absolute integrity as works of art.
The filmmaker's conclusion is properly drawn if which one of the following is assumed?
The argument says profit concerns affect the artistic decisions made in creating most independent films. From that, it concludes that most independent films do not have absolute integrity as works of art. The missing link is that profit-influenced artistic decisions rule out absolute artistic integrity.
(A) A creation has absolute integrity as a work of art if the artistic decisions made in creating it were unaffected by the need to make profits.
This is the wrong direction. It says unaffected by profit is enough for absolute integrity. But the argument needs the reverse idea: affected by profit means no absolute integrity.
(B) If any of the artistic decisions made in creating something were affected by the need to make profits, then that creation does not have absolute integrity as a work of art.
This is correct. The argument says profit affects the artistic decisions in most independent films. If any such profit influence prevents absolute integrity, then the conclusion follows.
(C) The creations of individuals have more integrity as works of art, on average, than those of groups.
This is irrelevant. The argument is not about individuals versus groups.
(D) The unconventionality of a creation has no bearing on its integrity as a work of art.
This is not required. Even if unconventionality has some bearing on integrity, profit influence could still prevent absolute integrity.
(E) A creation has no integrity as a work of art unless the artistic decisions made in creating it were unaffected by views about what is conventional.
This concerns views about what is conventional, not the need to make profits.
