Critical Reasoning

A consumer survey of independent feature films revealed that the percentage of action films that received the survey's highest rating was greater than the percentage of romance films that received the highest rating. Yet the survey organizers were probably erroneous in their conclusion that subject matter determins a feature film's poular appeal, since the action films were all direct by filmmakers with at least one hit film to their credit, while the romance films were directed by newer filmmakers, many of whom had not produced a previous film.

The statements above, if true, support which of the following inferences:

a) Fewer romance films than actions films received the survey's highest rating
b) There is no relationship between the popular appeal of the feature films evaluated in the survey and any previous successes of the directors of those films
c) If consumers were surveyed regarding their impressions of big-budget mainstraim films, the percentage of romance films that would receive the survey's highest rating would be lower than the percentage of action films that would receive the highest rating
d) experienced filmmakers are more likely to produce hit films than are new filmmakers
e) among directors with the same number of hit films to their credit, differences in the subject matter of their feature films may not affect the way the films are popularly rated

OA: E.

Please provide reasoning on why choosing the OA

A consumer survey of independent feature films revealed that the percentage of action films that received the survey's highest rating was greater than the percentage of romance films that received the highest rating. Yet the survey organizers were probably erroneous in their conclusion that subject matter determins a feature film's poular appeal, since the action films were all direct by filmmakers with at least one hit film to their credit, while the romance films were directed by newer filmmakers, many of whom had not produced a previous film.

The statements above, if true, support which of the following inferences:

a) Fewer romance films than actions films received the survey's highest rating (( We can not conclude that, more in percentage does not mean more in numbers)
b) There is no relationship between the popular appeal of the feature films evaluated in the survey and any previous successes of the directors of those films. ( This actually contradicts the passage)
c) If consumers were surveyed regarding their impressions of big-budget mainstraim films, the percentage of romance films that would receive the survey's highest rating would be lower than the percentage of action films that would receive the highest rating ( Out of context)
d) experienced filmmakers are more likely to produce hit films than are new filmmakers ( Keep this)
e) among directors with the same number of hit films to their credit, differences in the subject matter of their feature films may not affect the way the films are popularly rated (Check this out.- the author in the passage does not talk about experienced film makers but he talks about the film makers with atleast one hit film. This means a film maker who has produced hit film may perform better than others who do not have hit film in his bucket) - Hence this is stronger a choice than D

Stuck between D and E, But the passage doesnt mentioned credibility for experienced one so rejected D
hence E
