StrengthenDiff: Easy

Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: Everyone in the theater business seems to win with the repertory style—actors stay engaged, workers get paid more, and the bosses make more money—so it should be the standard.

Conclusion: Theaters should transition to a repertory format more frequently.

Reasoning: Repertory theater benefits actors by reducing boredom, stagehands by providing overtime pay, and managers by increasing revenue through popular play selections.

Analysis: The argument assumes that because the internal stakeholders are happy, the move is universally beneficial. However, it glosses over the most important group: the audience. While it mentions revenue, that revenue is contingent on choosing the right plays. Look for an answer that confirms audience preference for this format or suggests that the logistical hurdles of changing sets every night don't cancel out the financial gains. It seems theater people have finally found something to agree on, which is a miracle in itself.

Correct Answer

If repertory theaters can reschedule plays to meet audience demand, the manager’s reason for liking repertory (more revenue when matching demand) becomes more credible, strengthening the overall recommendation that more theaters should switch.
