A paragraph is given below from which the last sentence has been deleted. From the given options, choose the one that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way. 1) The quality of theatrically released films has been dropping so precipitously in recent years that the Academy Awards are no longer a fair gauge of audiovisual entertainment. Several decades ago audiences could expect a film such as The Social Network every week; now we are lucky to have one or two a year. Add to this the fact that serious dramas have more or less migrated to television, and its clear that the Oscars have become progressively less relevant. (a) All long-form audiovisual entertainment, released on any distribution platform, should be eligible for consideration, which of course would be a logistical nightmare for The Academy. (b) Grown-up films and creative projects are over in the new era, and many are turning to long-form television. (c) Last year arguably the best male performance of the year (Al Pacino in You Dont Know Jack) was not eligible for the Oscars because it was Made for TV. (d) Besides, Made for TV movies would not in any way downgrade the specialness of theatrical movies, if anything they would come as a wakeup call for all the movie studios.
