War Movies - CAT 6

by bruno_torres_gomez Wed Jul 02, 2014 6:42 pm

Hi,

Regarding the war movies text in CAT 6.

What is the main point made by the author?

A)Cultural and artistic communities tend not to fully support armed conflicts.

B) In the last century, the film industry has become more culturally diverse.

C) The existence of a particular cultural pattern can be established via evidence from 20th century artistic endeavors.

D) The film industry only supports military efforts while the actual conflict is taking place.

E) Cyclical patterns determine the type of films produced by Hollywood more than individuals do.


The right answer is C, but i don't see why " artistic endeavors" , i take it as a synonym. It does look that artistic endeavors could be anything: Music, Painting, and movies. I chose E, but my understanding is that films produced by individuals are not mentioned. I am not sure i have found a similar issue in the OG, should we go for synonyms or categories that cover the topic mentioned in main idea questions?
