Serious novelists start writing because of a desire to create a work of art and recognize as great literature the works of other novelists who achieve this goal. As a consequence, when a novel becomes a best-seller, the authors of other novels conclude that the best-seller is not truly great literature.
The explanation offered above for the view authors hold of best-sellers assumes that
work on a novel that the author hopes will be regarded as great literature must be undertaken in solitude
serious novelists tend not to view as great literature a novel produced by an author whose success they envy
a novelist can produce a best-seller without having already produced great literature
serious novelists believe that those novelists who produce best-sellers must not have aimed at producing a work of art
the claim of a novel to status as great literature cannot be evaluated by individuals who are not themselves serious novelists

will go with D.
Only if authors assume that best sellers are not written with a desrire tio create work of art, we can conclude that best sellers are not truly great literature.
Praet, in assumption questions, i always look out for a new concept/idea in the conclusion not previously mentioned in the passage. In this is case it is best-sellers not being works of art.

agree with D. A nice advice to look for a new concept in a conclusion. Likewise, it is OK to check an assumption via negation. If such negation destroys a conclusion, you pick a right answer.
In this case, the negation would be: those novelists who produce best-sellers AIM at producing a work of art. But the gist of the conclusion says that best-sellers are not great literature. Clear contradiction.
