Question Explanation
Text ExplanationVideo Explanation
In the last paragraph, the author concludes that Netflix is a unifying force in Europe, making culture "a cross-border endeavour". If there were a wide variance in the popularity and viewing of Netflix shows across different EU countries, then the author's assumption that Netflix is popular across Europe, giving Europeans something to share across borders, is weakened. Option B is the correct answer choice.
All other options are unrelated to the author's conclusion in the final paragraph.
Hence, the answer is 'Research shows there is a wide variance in the popularity and viewing of Netflix shows across different EU countries.'
Choice B is the correct answer.
