um~ I think I got what u mean
the E represents that the revenue falling month was supposed to be a good time to earn money,
but things go oppositely.
Thus, there must be some reasons, and analysts' could be one of them.

it's a support, right?

Thx a lot~

OA is E

but OA's explanation for the reason not to chose E is cryptic.
Something contradicting...OA is E or C?

If OA is C then I was right.
If OA is E then I was wrong.

initial reaction was C..but.. :roll:

question is which one does not provide additional support for the analysts' belief.

E, says that the revenue increased in the following month, which creates a doubt if the program aired the previous month was the reason for the year's fall in revenue, in fact it suggests that there must be some other reason(later or earlier) for the year's fall in revenue.

Also, i think C says that although advertisers reduce advertising, they do not cease to advertise, which parallels the premise that talks about advertisers who have left. C is unclear.

Hence E, is this reasoning right.. :?:

E is saying that typically the following month is good for network revenue, i.e., they got good increase in revenue in this month in the past.
==> It is already mentioned that there was a 30% loss in that month.
So, E is supporting the belief that revenue was decreased even when in general the revenue was expected to increase.
