Question

some people believe that ships have disappeared in the bermuda triangle because aliens have taken them. what idea does the sentence describe? aliens have always fascinated people. misfortunes are easier to recall than happy events. myths must include proven facts. unexplained events can sometimes become myths.

Explanation:

The original sentence describes an unproven, popular belief about the unexplained disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, framing it as an idea that emerged from an unexplained event. The correct option matches this: the unsolved disappearances (unexplained event) led to a mythic claim about aliens. The other options are irrelevant: the first focuses on alien fascination not the Bermuda claim, the second is about memory of events, and the third is incorrect as myths do not require proven facts.

Answer:

D. Unexplained events can sometimes become myths.
