I will go with D...

'since action films were all directed by filmmakers with at least one hit film to their credit' contradicts E.

here ... the way the argument is written, suggests that producer's experience, in terms of the number of hits, determines the popularity index.The subject doesn't matter. To hold this fact, if there are two directors with same number of hits to their name, then the subject wouldn't affect the poularity index of their films. D doesn't point out anything related to number of hits.

You're right its E. My mind is getting a little twisted here - the argument says action films were more popular contrary to survey because action films were directed by directors with more number of hits than those direcitng romance.

so say there were 2 directors with same number of hits, in this case there needs to be another metric to guage popularity since the one presented in the argument (Number oF Hits) equals itself out (both have same #). In this case wouldn't it be logical to say 'hmmm if both have eqaul number of hits something else must determine popularity. so what's left -- hmm subject matter maybe?" That contradicts E.

But the answer is E. Can you please explain my question above...?
