A famous football player recently won a lawsuit against an advertising firm for using an actor in a fundraising event to appear as a football player to sign autographs and take pictures with attendees. As a result of the lawsuit, advertising firms will stop using actors to impersonate famous athletes. Therefore, advertising costs will rise, since actual famous athlete costs more than that of impersonating actor.
The conclusion above is based on which of the following assumptions?
(A) Most attendees are unable to distinguish a famous athlete from a impersonating actor.
(B) Events using famous athletes are usually more successfull than those that use impersonating actors.
(C) Some famous atheltes who would be popular at such events are ill at present.
(D) Advertising firms will continue to use imitators to impersonate famous athletes but will do so with the disclosure that the actors are not real athletes.
(E) Events will continue to attract attendees with the opportunity to recieve an autograph by and a a picture with a famous athlete.
-> OA: E
My reasoning:
Conclusion: Costs of event will rise because real athletes cost more than impersonating actors.
A: Attendees unable to distinguish does not tells us if cost will rise or not.
B: Events are succesfull if real athletes are used. This sounds promising.
C. irrelevant
D. irrelevant to cost rise if events use impersonators with disclosure or not
E. Attendees will be attracted if real athletes will be used -> more attendees -> more revenue -> cost will be less. so weakens.
As per my reasoning the answer is B. Can some experts help.
