Question

Filmmakers tend to highlight their emotional points with visuals, rather than dialogue. Words tend to be the tools of playwrights. Images are the stuff that films are made of. Nevertheless, many successful films have been made from stage plays and contain little else than one location or one stage set. The option most opposite to the idea in the paragraph is:

• A. Films are not necessarily a filmmaker’s medium.
• B. Films are not limited to any one particular style.
• C. Films are solely built upon visual and eye-catching scenes.
• D. Films are better made by playwrights and novelists.
• E. Films perhaps are better understood by literary critics.

Hint:

When asked for the “most opposite” idea, identify not just partial disagreement but direct contradiction of the central theme.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Extract the main idea.
The passage emphasizes that films are built mainly on visuals, unlike plays which rely on words. Yet, it concedes that some great films adapt plays and thrive even with minimal visuals. \Rightarrow The key point = films highlight visuals but are not limited to them.
Step 2: Evaluate options.
(A) Acceptable; “not necessarily medium” doesn’t oppose the claim strongly.
(B) Fits: films not restricted to one style.
(C) Opposes directly: “solely built upon visuals.” This ignores the concession that films may succeed with minimal visuals. ✗ (opposite)
(D) Off-topic; not central opposition.
(E) Secondary claim; not strongly opposite.
Step 3: Conclude.
Option (C) most directly contradicts the idea. \[ \boxed{\text{Option (C)}} \]
