Marife: That was a bad movie because, by not providing viewers with all the information necessary for solving the murder, it violated a requirement of murder mysteries.
Nguyen: But the filmmaker wanted viewers to focus on the complex relationship between the chief detective and her assistant. The murder just provided the context in which the relationship developed, and should not be taken as a defining characteristic of the film.
Marife's and Nguyen's comments indicate that they disagree about
(A) whether the movie was a bad one
(B) whether the relationship between the chief detective and her assistant was an important part of the movie
(C) whether the movie should be classified as a murder mystery
(D) the appropriateness of trying to find criteria that all mystery movies must meet
(E) whether the filmmaker wanted viewers to be able to solve the murder

The answer should be E-
A) Nguyen, never commented that the movie good or bad
B) Marife, never state whether the relationship is an important part or not
C) Nguyen never said whether the movie is classified as a murder mystery or not
D) Not relevant
E) Correct- as Marife, states that "by not providing viewers with all the information necessary for solving the murder, it violated a requirement of murder mysteries", Marife agrees that filmmakers want the audience to solve the murder, but as the movie didn't provide necessary information thus it is a bad movie.
and Nguyen states that "filmmaker wanted viewers to focus on the complex relationship between the chief detective and her assistant."
Thus both of them disagree on "whether the filmmaker wanted viewers to be able to solve the murder".
Therefore the answer is E
A) Nguyen, never commented that the movie good or bad
B) Marife, never state whether the relationship is an important part or not
C) Nguyen never said whether the movie is classified as a murder mystery or not

Clearly between C and E.
(C) whether the movie should be classified as a murder mystery
Yes, I think this is the correct one. First person clearly states that it is a requirement of murder mysteries that viewers be given clues to solve the mysteries. This first person thinks that the movie is indeed a murder mystery.
Second person, on the other hand, states that the filmmaker wanted to keep the murder thing as a side thing and his primary focus was something else. Clearly, in the second person's opinion, the movie is not a murder mystery as murder is a side element in the story.
(E) whether the filmmaker wanted viewers to be able to solve the murder
Wrong in my opinion.
First person simply states what are pre-requisites of a murder mystery. She never talks or implies that filmmaker "wanted" the viewers to be able to solve the mystery. So she cannot disagree with the second person on this topic.
Second person, on other hand, clearly believes that filmmaker does not want to divert any attention to murder stuff, and that murder element is just a secondary thing.
I welcome any comments on my reasoning
Appreciate Kudos if it helps xD
