The argument concludes that the play will neither become a movie nor get revived at the Decade festival. This is supported by the fact that it would become a movie or get revived at the festival if it were successful, but it’s not.

This is a cookie-cutter example of mistaking a sufficient condition for a necessary condition. The play being successful is sufficient for it becoming a movie or getting revived, but the argument never establishes that success is necessary for either of those. There’s no reason to say that the play can’t become a movie or get revived just because it’s unsuccessful.

This is saying that the argument should conclude that the play cannot both become a movie and get revived at the same time. However, the play’s lack of success isn’t sufficient to prove this either, so (A)’s version of the conclusion is just as flawed.

This is irrelevant since “unsuccessful” is always enough to fail the sufficient condition, regardless of the specific reason why it was unsuccessful. We already know as a premise that the play was unsuccessful.

The argument never discusses the play’s aesthetic worth, so it doesn’t equate aesthetic worth to anything.

This is descriptively inaccurate since the argument never claims that the play can’t become anything else, only that it will neither become a movie nor get revived at the festival.

This describes how the argument fails to consider other possible ways in which the play could become a movie or get revived. Success is not established as a necessary condition, so the play being unsuccessful doesn’t justify the conclusion.
