Question

question 18 of 25
read the following argument:
a rainbow is not an object, so therefore it can never be
physically reached.
which of the following statements offers the most relevant evidence to
support this argument?
a. rainbows are optical illusions caused by water droplets reflecting
light.

b. rainbows can be full circles or half - circles, but usually we only see
half - circles.

c. rainbows are formed of a consistent sequence and fading
intensity of color.

d. rainbows have been linked to mythical creatures called
leprechauns.

Explanation:

The argument claims rainbows are not objects and cannot be physically reached. Option A supports this by stating rainbows are optical illusions (not tangible objects) formed by light and water droplets, directly linking their non-object nature to being unreachable. Other options do not address the "non-object" premise: B describes shape, C describes color properties, D mentions mythology—none connect to tangibility or physical reachability.

Answer:

A. Rainbows are optical illusions caused by water droplets reflecting light.
