Question

Where the film Bombay loses out is where every commercial film congenitally goes awry — becoming too simplistic to address serious issues and failing to translate real life to reel.
Which of the following can be inferred from the above line?

• A. The film's director aimed at recreating real life on the silver screen.
• B. The film was too simplistic for the audience's taste.
• C. The film was successful in spite of its shortcomings.
• D. None of these

Hint:

In inference-based questions, focus on the explicit details given in the passage. In this case, the passage highlights failure due to simplicity, but does not explicitly state the director's intentions or the film's success.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The passage criticizes the film Bombay for being too simplistic and failing to accurately translate real-life issues to the reel. However, it does not mention whether the film's director specifically aimed to recreate real life or whether the film was successful despite its shortcomings.
- Option (A) suggests the director's intent, but the passage does not explicitly state that the director aimed to recreate real life on the screen.
- Option (B) suggests that the film was too simplistic for the audience, but it is not directly implied that the simplicity was the reason for failure. It only mentions the failure to address serious issues.
- Option (C) talks about the success of the film, but the passage focuses more on the failure of the film rather than its success.
Since none of these options align perfectly with the passage, the correct answer is Option (D): None of these.
