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 determines a feature film's popular appeal,since the action films were all directed by filmmakers with at least one hit film to their credit,while the romance films were directed by newew filmmakers,many of whom had not produced a previous film.

16.The statements above,if true,support which one of the following inferences?

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.

D为什么不对？E是怎么可以【推出来】的？

1。D错在原文没有Experienced filmmakers 的信息，filmmakers with at least one hit film to their credit不一定是有经验，同样， NEW filmmakers也不一定都是没经验

2。原文说subject matter 可能不是POPULAR的原因（the survey organizers were probably erroneous in their conclusion that subject matter determines a feature film's popular appeal）。E也是这个意思。

啊？原文说在所有的导演中，subject matter 可能不是POPULAR的原因，而导演的知名度才是popular的原因。

但是E说的是在知名度相同的导演中，subject matter 可能不是POPULAR的原因。讨论的范围不一样啊。哦！是不是E说的这个情况是原文说的情况的子集？

YES

D is wrong because it talks about likehood "to produce hit films", but the survey in passage only provides information on "percentage of action films that received the survey's highest rating"  -- this is differenct than producing hit films.

E is the best answer, because, as lawyer pointed out,  E rephrases of this sentence in the passage: "survey organizers were probably erroneous in their conclusion that subject matter determines a feature film's popular appeal"
