Question

earth’s 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 author’s main claim that it is likely that alien life exists beyond earth. what’s wrong with the author’s argument in the fourth paragraph?

the author fails to offer a reason why aliens who reached earth would choose to visit area 51.

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

the fact that many people have claimed aliens have reached earth is not evidence that it’s true.

Explanation:

The author's main claim is about the likelihood of alien life existing beyond Earth, supported by scientific - like evidence (NASA, exoplanets, water). The option about people's claims is a flaw because anecdotal claims (people saying aliens reached Earth) aren't[LLM SSE On Failure]

Answer:

The fact that many people have claimed aliens have reached Earth is not evidence that it's true.
