By the 1960s, film production had already evolved greatly to include many advanced techniques for photographic and video imaging. These techniques presented directors with a wide range of effects that could be used to create realistic and convincing scenes. Therefore, the first moon landing in 1969 was a fictitious event that was carefully produced in a film studio.
A major flaw in the argument above is that
A. factual information is used to support a statement that is not related to it in any way
Factual information: By the 1960s, film production had already evolved greatly to include many advanced techniques for photographic and video imaging
This information does support the statement "the first moon landing in 1969 was a fictitious event that was carefully produced in a film studio."But the options says that they are not related at all.
However, they are related as the film studio that the factual information talks of is further attributed as a reason to the event being fictitious.
B. an assumption is made regarding the political intentions of film producers during that time
Out of context of para.C. it does not specify actual techniques or filming methods that could have enabled the production of the fictitious film
The actual techniques would not add anything new to the para/reasoning.D. the author assumes the existence of a budget for the production of such a film
Out of contextE. it claims that an event occurred in a certain way based solely upon the fact that it would be possible
Correct.
The para talks of the techniques that were possible in the given period and could have been used in any event at that time to have been used for sure in this particular event.E
