Background information:  This year, each film submitted to the Barbizon Film Festival was submitted in one of ten categories.  For each category, there was a panel that decided which submitted films to accept.

Fact 1:  Within each category, the rate of acceptance for domestic films was the same as that for foreign films.

Fact 2:  The overall rate of acceptance of domestic films was significantly higher than that of foreign films.

In liht of the background information, which of the following, if true, can account for fact 1 and fact 2 both being true of the submissions to this year’s Barbizon Film Festival?

1. In each category, the selection panel was composed of filmmakers, and some selection panels included no foreign filmmakers.
2. Significantly more domestic films than foreign films were submitted to the festival.
3. In each of the past three years, the overall acceptance rate was higher for foreign than for domestic films, an outcome that had upset some domestic filmmakers.
4. The number of films to be selected in each category was predetermined, but in no category was it required that the acceptance rate of foreign films should equal that of domestic films.
5. Most foreign films, unlike most domestic films, were submitted in categories with high prestige, but with correspondingly low rates of acceptance.

WHY E?

题干说：每个分类里面，国内，国外的接受率都是一样的。但总的来说,国内的接受率大大高于国外电影。

E很好的解释了这一点，大部分外国电影都投在接受率为5%（打个比方）的类别中，而大部分国内电影都投在接受率为10%（打个比方）的类别中。从而导致了题干的情况的可能发生。

很多的外国电影都跑到其中几个类别中参选了，而国内电影大部分却在别的部分；可

理解为外国电影在这里损耗了大部分的兵力，以致在其它部分虽然RATE和国外电影一样，

但number就远远低了（像田忌赛马, 又有点像正态分布），无法在总体上与国内电影竞争

Acceptance Rate=number of films accepted/number of films submitted.

(D)The number of films to be selected in each category was predetermined, but in no category was it required that the acceptance rate of foreign films should equal that of domestic films.

有人可以解釋一下這個選項嗎?

 in no category was it required that the acceptance rate of foreign films should equal that of domestic films.好像與 Fact 1: The overall rate of acceptance of domestic films was significantly higher than that of foreign films.矛盾??
