(B) None of the films released in country Z in 1992 were based on books other than novels.

My hunch tells me the answer is B, and I am pretty sure it is the answer, but I need some clarity. Because it didn't really match my prephrase that "if 1992 films, then no more than 25% based on books from 1991. I see how B could be a missing premise, but I don't see it as a sufficient assumption, as it able to make the argument valid.

    P: 500 books in 1991: novels

     25 of movies in 1992: based on the novels

     100 movies were released in 1992

    ————————

    C: No more than 25% of the movies were based on books

    We can conclude from the existing premises that no more than 25% of the movies were based on the novels. But the conclusion says “books” instead. So if we fill that gap, it becomes valid.

    (B): SA: based on the novels = based on books

    Hint: Does 'books' = 'novels'?

    Perfect argument:

    P: A -> B

    P: B -> C

    C: A -> C
