the public's appetite for documentary films, like _______ ? You can get the answer easily now. The comparison will be clear if you remove unnecessary prepositional phrases

A - public's appetite is compared to nonfiction books - wrong in terms of quantity and what are compared.
B/C - usage of as is wrong here as we are comparing nouns
D - 'their' - public is a collective noun and is singular

IMO E.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

Spot on, sam.

Since like is used, we should be comparing 2 nouns. These two nouns should be parallel. That is all that's required to answer this question. I like this question for incorporating two concepts (Parallelism and Pronouns).

-> 'public's appetite' is parallel to 'its interest'
-> 'its interest' is a correctly used possessive pronoun as it addresses possessive noun 'public's appetite'
