Question
It has been seen that whenever a certain movie in Bollywood is a major success, the subsequent movies follow suit, literally. Almost all the movies made after that are of the same type. Obviously, the 'formula' which the public is known to have loved and approved is simply repeated by the people in the industry for sure success.Which of the following, if true, weakens the above argument?
Options:
A .  The producers and directors in Bollywood actually keep in mind the public mood while making movies.
B .  A movie's success does not depend upon various parameters like who the hero or heroine is, whose music it has, who's directing or producing it etc.
C .  Many movies that copied the formula of a successful movie  went on to become, some of the great flops.
D .  Almost all the Bollywood authors are uninnovative and have run out of ideas and so tend to simply 'redesign' a recent hit.
E .  None of these
Answer: Option D


The correct answer is (d). The conclusion of the argument is that because the public loved and approved a certain formula, Bollywood repeats it for sure success.The assumption is there is no other cause / reason. If we show one, we weaken it. Choice (d) gives us an alternative cause: the not so creative writers don't have any ideas at all. If they had, they would write new stories. Choice (a) strengthens the argument by asserting the same conclusion. Choices (b) and (c) are irrelevant.
