A major film studio announced the release date of a movie based on a novel that, though it was a bestseller when first published, has been out of print for nearly fifteen years. Hoping to capitalize on the anticipated success of the film, the publisher who owns the copyright on the novel plans to print a new edition to be made available the same week the film premieres.
Each of the following, if true, supports the soundness of the publisher’s plan to capitalize on the success of the film EXCEPT:
A. The publisher has received permission from the film studio to stamp the words “Now a major motion picture” on the cover of each book.
B. The publisher has received reports that film adaptations tend to increase interest in and sales of their source novels, particularly when the novels were previously bestsellers.
C. The publisher has used the advance payment received from the film studio to secure a large initial print run of the novel, anticipating higher demand.
D. Several top critics who previewed the film have praised its faithfulness to the novel, potentially increasing viewers’ interest in reading the original book.
E. A recent survey showed that many fans of the novel are excited about the film adaptation and plan to purchase the new edition upon its release.

Official Solution:
A major film studio announced the release date of a movie based on a novel that, though it was a bestseller when first published, has been out of print for nearly fifteen years. Hoping to capitalize on the anticipated success of the film, the publisher who owns the copyright on the novel plans to print a new edition to be made available the same week the film premieres.
EACH of the following, if true, supports the soundness of the publisher’s plan to capitalize on the success of the film EXCEPT
A. The publisher has received permission from the film studio to stamp the words “Now a major motion picture” on the cover of each book.
B. The publisher has received reports that film adaptations tend to increase interest in and sales of their source novels, particularly when the novels were previously bestsellers.
C. The publisher has used the advance payment received from the film studio to secure a large initial print run of the novel, anticipating higher demand.
D. Several top critics who previewed the film have praised its faithfulness to the novel, potentially increasing viewers' interest in reading the original book.
E. A recent survey showed that many fans of the novel are excited about the film adaptation and plan to purchase the new edition upon its release.
Situation: A publisher hopes a film based on an out-of-print novel will prompt sales of a new edition of that novel.
Reasoning: The argument claims that success of the film would boost the sale of book (Capitalization on success of the film means that the success of the movie would boost the sale of the book). Hence we need to find out the option that does NOT relate the success of film to success of the book (This is an EXCEPT question).
A. Printing “now a major motion picture” helps support the sale of the book. Therefore the release of the film (and its subsequent success) is related to the sale of the book.....eliminate.
B. This option supports the plan by citing industry trends that suggest a successful film can boost sales of its source material (book), so this provides a pretty good indicator and reinforces that the plan should have a good chance of success.
C. CORRECT. This is the correct answer as it specifies that the funds were used for a purpose unrelated to capitalizing on the film's success. While it would make the publisher more successful if they had more books to sell and did not run out of inventory, the goal is evaluate the soundness of plan, not make the most money. Let's say the publisher prints 100K extra copies of the book but the film bombs - that is not a sound plan but rather preparation, anticipation, or gambling but this does not reinforce the soundness of the plan.
D. This choice also supports the plan by suggesting that positive reviews of the film’s faithfulness to the book may motivate viewers to read the novel, directly boosting sales.
E. Also supports the plan by providing evidence that there is already anticipated consumer demand linking the film’s release to the novel’s sales, indicating a strong interest in the book among the fans of the novel related to the movie adaptation. Why they want another copy beats me, but we are told they do.

While i think C is also a good option. Option D seemed more plausible to me, just because it specifically mentioned the term "original book", not "new edition".
If the official answer would have argued for Option D, mentioning my explanation (in the way i explained it), I would have taken their word for it, since thats what naturally came to me. But, since the official explanation argue for Option C. I just have to take their word for it being a better answer. And I fear if this question came up in the exam, i would make the same mistake of choosing Option D again. This is the problem with CR for me. Some options just seem right to me, but turns out to be wrong.
I'd appreciate if anyone can provide any help with this.
