I think answer shoul be D. As it totally depends on the viewers. N they prefer sitcoms. It is not mentioned that out of 7 the other two can be anything from hour-long drama or news magzine show.

I think you are right Priyanka, it will depend on the viewers choice.

The answer id D. As all 5 sitcoms remained is a sign enough to say that viewers prefer sitcoms rather than news-shows & 1 hr long dramas. As for option a,b and c there is no statement in support.

If there is no given fact for the answer A and b then there is no given fact for C as well. The explanation given for the C is not a fact and it does not make any sense.

D is the most suitable answer. It's a commonsense. We know that those shows which are most preferred by viewers continue screening.

Can anyone tell me where is statement mentioned in support of option C ?

As there 7 shows remaining, answer C is not appropriate. Its given that there is 5 sitcoms in remaining 7 shows. So it might be possible that remaining 2 shows are news magazine.

C is right because on the paragraph last line "Five of the shows that remained were sitcoms" and second last line is that "By January, only seven of these new shows were still on the air".

So sitcomes already has five. Television is don't want to show closed every channel at least. We have " three were hour-long dramas" and "two were news-magazine shows" so long hours drama is expensive for television at least one is running. So in 7. " 5 comes from sitcomes as given. 1 from long drama and 1 from news-magazine shows.

Devashish can you be more elaborate. I think your answer is based on assumption not fact given in the paragraphs.

I think the answer should be d because there is no evidence anywhere in the paragraph about the fact that there was at least one drama show or a magazine show.
