SECTION 4 · lr

The author concedes that Quirks is unrealistic, but she doesn’t seem to think this is an issue. Why? Quirks is funny, which is what we care about in a comedy.

The author claims that people shouldn’t criticize Quirks for being unrealistic, but her only justification is that it’s funny, and that’s what a comedy should be. The author is assuming that a movie being a good example of its genre removes the need for it to be realistic, so we want an answer choice that gives us the following information:

Movies that are good examples of their genre do not need to be realistic

(A) hurts the argument. We want to prove that it’s fine for Quirks to be unrealistic, whereas (A) implies this makes Quirks a bad movie.

(B) is tempting as it does support the conclusion, but it doesn’t match the author’s reasoning. The author thinks that it’s okay for Quirks to be unrealistic because it is a good example of a comedy, not because it’s popular.

Irrelevant. Regardless of whether Quirks should or shouldn’t be funny because of its style, why does this make it okay to be unrealistic?

We know that Quirks was funny, making it a good example of a comedy. (D) tells us this makes Quirks successful, which provides us with a reason to disregard the critics’ criticism.

Irrelevant. We have no clue if Quirks tried to stay only within the comedy genre. And even if it did, why would this make it okay to be unrealistic?
