At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Magazine commentary: If the major television networks acted responsibly, they would commit their most talented writers, directors and actors to create quality programs suitable for family viewing during “prime time” viewing hours each weekday evening. Instead, television programming is full of sex, violence, and adult situations and language. In fact, the most-watched programs are a situation comedy full of degrading and sexual humor and a police show with frequent violence and adult language. At present, only a few networks carry quality programs that are suitable for family viewing.
If you assume that the statements in the commentary are true, then which one of the following statements must also be true?
(A) Children are being exposed to adult situations and language at a younger age.
(B) Networks that carry programs unsuitable for family viewing are only concerned with the bottom line financially and do not act responsibly toward their viewing public.
(C) Only a minority of families watch programs carried on public television stations.
(D) Advertisers must put pressure on the major networks to carry more programs suitable for family viewing.
(E) Most of the major networks are not meeting their responsibility to bring the public high quality programs suitable for family viewing.

Official Explanation
(A) No. The commentator argues that the networks are not acting responsibly. While the author could perhaps place some of the blame on the viewing audience, he does not.
(B) No. The commentator does not tell us why the networks don’t broadcast more family programs, so this statement does not follow from the passage.
(C) No. Again, we do not know from the passage anything about the programming on public television stations or what the viewership is for those stations.
(D) No. The commentator is concerned that the networks are not acting responsibly; he does not elicit help from television advertisers in this passage.
(E) Yes. The commentator states that if networks acted responsibly, they would broadcast more family programming. The passage strongly implies that the networks are not currently meeting their responsibility to the viewing public. Selection (E) is an application of the contrapositive.
