Question

review the fourth paragraph. not so lonely planet are we alone? this question has weighed on the minds of humans for centuries. some have long claimed that alien life indeed exists both within earths solar system and beyond. still, conclusive proof of alien life has remained out of reach. recently, however, nasa scientists have given the world a reason to believe that the existence of alien life is not only possible, but probable. recent discoveries suggest that, beyond earth, the solar system is full of conditions that could support life as we know it. continuing evidence of water in other parts of the galaxy, as well as a recent breakthrough discovery of seven habitable exoplanets similar to earth, support the notion that finding alien life is a quickly approaching possibility. the fourth paragraph is meant to support the authors main claim that it is likely that alien life exists beyond earth. whats wrong with the authors argument in the fourth paragraph? the author fails to offer a reason why aliens who reached earth would choose to visit area 51. the fact that many people have claimed aliens have reached earth is not evidence that its true. the idea that area 51 might hold evidence of alien life is not relevant to the main claim.

Explanation:

The author's main claim is about the likelihood of alien life existing beyond Earth. The mention of Area 51 and aliens choosing to visit it is an irrelevant tangent that does not support the claim about the existence of alien life in the universe.

Answer:

The idea that Area 51 might hold evidence of alien life is not relevant to the main claim.
