A book can be considered a success if it is both critically popular and a commercial success. It can also be a success if it is critically unpopular but wildly successful commercially, or a financial flop but a critic’s darling. My latest book has been mildly well received by critics but has only sold a few copies so far.

Which of the following statements must be true on the basis of the passage?
  1. The writer’s book is a critical success but will be a commercial failure.
  2. The writer’s book will not be considered a success.
  3. In order to see if the book is a commercial success, it must be given time to sell copies.
  4. The book was popular enough with critics to call it a success.
  5. The book in question is a failure.
Explanation
Answer: C - It must be true that in order to see if the book is a commercial success, it must be given time to sell copies. It has only sold a few copies “so far,” meaning it is unclear whether it will be commercially successful over the long run.
