A recent study of major motion pictures revealed that the vast majority of their plots were simply variations on plots that had been used many times before. Despite this fact, many people enjoy seeing several new movies each year. Each of the following, if true, would contribute to an explanation of the apparent discrepancy in the information above EXCEPT: ['If the details of their stories are sufficiently different, two movies with the same basic plot will be perceived by moviegoers as having different plots.', 'Because of the large number of movies produced each year, the odds of a person seeing two movies with the same general plot structure in a five-year period are fairly low.', 'Although most modern movie plots have been used before, most of those previous uses occurred during the 1940s and 1950s.', 'Movies based on standard plots are more likely to be financially successful than are ones based on original plots.']
