One of the most effective ways to advertise big budget new movies with popular themes is to distribute free trailers to theaters. This type of advertisement increases future sales of the movie and is cheap. Theaters are willing to show those trailers free of charge, because they hype the upcoming release and attract more customers for its showing.
Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the passage above?
A) Seeing the trailer encourages more viewers to see the whole movie than it discourages.
B) Big-budget movies with popular themes are more likely than other movies to attract viewers
The main contention lies between A and BI have an issue with the 'general' quality of A - 'A)
Seeing the trailer encourages more viewers to see the whole movie than it discourages.' --> how does this apply to big-budget movies with popular themes; which have free trailers? Basically we need to solve the reason of WHY these are being given for free anyway, what can be inferred from it.
And so, b)
Big-budget movies with popular themes are more likely than other movies to attract viewers by releasing a free trailer makes sense, because despite free trailers given by studios, the excitement and popular themes are enough to create buzz and footfall (and recover studio losses if any created by free trailers).
So A) has the following issues:
--> ANY trailer is to make sure people watch the whole movie
--> Also, the wording - 'whole movie'? When did a trailer or theater encourage watching half a movie?

Expert opinions, if possible would surely clear this up:)
