Film Director: It is true that certain characters and plot twists in my newly released film The Big Heist are similar to characters and plot twists in Thieves, a movie that came out last year.Pointing to these similarities, the film studio that produced Thieves is now accusing me of taking ideas from that film. The accusation is clearly without merit. All production work on The Big Heist was actually completed months before Thieves was released.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest support for the director’s position?


Before Thieves began production, its script had been circulating for several years among various film studios, including the studio that produced The Big Heist.

The characters and plot twists that are most similar in the two films have close parallels in many earlier films of the same genre.

The film studio that produced Thieves seldom produces films in this genre.

The director of Thieves worked with the director of The Big Heist on several earlier projects.

Production work on Thieves began before production work on The Big Heist was started.

考题讲解

情景:Film Director:我承认我的电影The Big Heist和去年上的电影Thieves还挺像的。Thieves还因为这要告我。但是,这根本是扯淡,因为在Thieves上映前The Big Heist就制作完了。

推理:

(因)前提:在Thieves上映前TheBig Heist就制作完了

(果)结论:Thieves的指控是在扯谈。

因果推理。题目要求我们加强,即支持Film Director(The Big Heist没抄袭)。


选项分析:

A选项:在Thieves开始制作之前,它的手稿已经在包括制作The Big Heist的studio中流传了好几年:这个选项取非前就直接削弱了结论,手稿早就泄露了,那The Big Heist啥时候都可以抄袭,和Thieves啥时候上映没关系。

B选项:正确。两部电影相似之处在同流派的早期电影里就存在了:这个选项直接指出,大家谁也别笑谁,都是借鉴的老前辈的东西,不存在两者之前互相抄袭的情况。

C选项:制作Thieves的studio很少制作这一流派的电影:无关选项。

D选项:
两部电影的导演早期合作过:无关选项,并不能说明两部电影间有没有抄袭。

E选项:
Thieves的制作早于The Big Heist的制作:并不能说明The Big Heist有没有抄袭Thieves。
