Ten new television shows appeared during the month of September. Five of the shows were sitcoms, three were hour-long dramas, and two were news-magazine shows. By January, only seven of these new shows were still on the air. Five of the shows that remained were sitcoms.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
If there were seven shows left and five were sitcoms, this means that only two of the shows could possibly be dramas. Choices a and b may be true, but there is no evidence to indicate this as fact. The fact that all of the sitcoms remained does not necessarily mean that viewers prefer sitcoms (choice d).

5 sitcoms + 3 hour-long dramas = 8 shows, so one hour-long dramas should be cancelled. So C is the correct answer.

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

I also think that D is the correct answer. Option D was my first instinct also. Because option C has no reason.

C should be the correct answer because if 3 shows are cancelled atleast one of them would be the drama.

I think the answer should be D, as the viewers are those who are deciding the future of shows.
