DISCUSSION: It’s best to solve this type of question part by part. For instance, there were no solutions offered in the passage. So any answer that offers a solution is out. That eliminates A and C.
Likewise, the end of the passage never says why we should avoid the problem of bad films, and the author never asks for help. That eliminates D and E.
The first part of each answer is pretty similar.
___________
- This is very close. But the passage doesn’t end with a solution. Lines 52-57 are pessimistic; they imply that Hollywood will keep making bad movies.
- CORRECT. Notice that this matches A exactly, except for the last part. The consequence is that good films will become rarer, see lines 52-57.
- The third part is the problem. The author never mentions a solution.
- The end is nonsense. Lines 52-57 suggest a consequence (more bad films), but they don’t tell us how to avoid it.
- There’s no appeal for assistance at the end. There’s just a pessimistic prediction that films will keep getting bad.
We also don’t know why the star system grew into a mass media complex.
