Although no conclusive scientific evidence proves that angels exist, many highly intelligent and respectable people believe they exist and have even claimed to have spoken with angels. It is therefore reasonable to assume that angels do exist, but we just don't have the means to prove their existence.
All of the following, if true, are valid objections to this argument EXCEPT
A. even people who are usually honest lie on occasion.
B. well-respected people often have deep religious beliefs, so they are likely to believe in angels, even if evidence suggests angels do not exist.
C. respectable people often want to be seen as highly moral people, and contact with angels would make them seem "chosen."
D. many people believe that angels are messengers of God, and a belief in angels therefore provides evidence of their belief in God.
E. people who claim to see angels provide very similar descriptions of the angels

Let's jot down the points:
Premise: no scientific proof of existence of angels
Premise: many highly intelligent and respectable people claim to have seen and talled with angels
Conclusion: angels exists but can't prove their existence
We need to find 4 options that object the claim that angels exists, that will make 5th option our answer, which would support the claim that angels exist.
A. even people who are usually honest lie on occasion.
INCORRECT. Yes, this is an objection. Possibility that people would have lied about angels.
B. well-respected people often have deep religious beliefs, so they are likely to believe in angels, even if evidence suggests angels do not exist.
INCORRECT. Another objection. Religious people tend to believe in superstitions.
C. respectable people often want to be seen as highly moral people, and contact with angels would make them seem "chosen."
INCORRECT. Yes. An objection. Publicity and attention seekers.
D. many people believe that angels are messengers of God, and a belief in angels therefore provides evidence of their belief in God.
INCORRECT. This is another objection. Belief made people think thay angels exists.
Since we crossed out 4 options (objections), 5th option will be correct. Anyways, let's go through it.
E. people who claim to see angels provide very similar descriptions of the angels
CORRECT. This supports the argument that angels exists.Aha!
IMO answer is option E
