Film historians have made two major criticisms of Depression-era filmmakers: first, that they were too uncritical of the economic status quo; and second, that they self-indulgently created films reflecting their own dreams and desires. However, these filmmakers made their movies with an eye to profit, and so they provided what their audiences most wanted in a film: a chance to imagine being wealthy enough not to have a care in the world. Thus, the second criticism cannot be accurate. The conclusion of the argument follows logically if which one of the following is assumed? ['To avoid self-indulgence, filmmakers should take a critical stance toward the existing economic system and should allow audiences to form their own personal aspirations.', 'It cannot be self-indulgent for a filmmaker to give an audience what it most wants.', 'The people who regularly went to movies during the Depression were those likely to have been most satisfied with the economic status quo.', 'Depression-era filmmakers who did not make films for profit could not take radical critical stances toward then-current economic and political issues.']
