D has "generally" in it. I think when we negate D, we negate generally? The passage says "widespread reliance". Is it because of "widespread" that D says "generally"? I really don't understand this.
The argument is attempting to prove a claim about society in general; to do that, it must have evidence about society in general.
This is the core building block of all we do in LR sections; to prove a claim about X, one must offer evidence about X.
To negate any choice you're struggling with, the simplest solution is probably to append the words "It's not true that..." to the beginning of the choice.
Here, that would be: "It's not true that relying on movies makes people less likely to participate." Hold up! If relying on movies doesn't suppress participation, what are we even arguing about?!
That's the effect of negation on your necessary assumption—it makes the argument just stupid.
Take C for example. How to interpret this statement? Is it a most statement, a some statement, or an all statement?
This is an important question, and so I address it in our very first LR Theory video; if you haven't watched those videos, do! They're good for your score.
To answer your question here, you can cut to the 5:08-ish mark here.
