The lights crossed the sky overhead and as they did, Ms. Markesan saw that they belonged to a spinning Pam Markenlooked into the New Mexico sky and saw the dise-shaped craft unlike any plane she had ever seen. Inquiries with the Federal Aviation Administration showed no records of any planes or other aircraft within hundreds of miles of the Markesan property that evening Later that same evening on the other side of town, Alvin Mendez, 92, disappeared in his own backyard. A neighbor reported that he saw pulsing blue lights from the vicinity of Mr. Mendex's property, as he walked out to look, he saw Mr. Mendez walking up the ramp to a giant, disc-like craft, where he was awaited by an indistinct, plowing being that in the neighbor's words, "could not have come from this world." The ramp then retracted and the disc flew into the sky, blue lights still pulsing. Mr. Mendez is still reported missing. UFO Watcher Today contacted the local army base by phone for comment on this story, but the army spokesman refused to talk. The reporter then drove out to the base for a personal interview, but was again denied. He then took up a position on a hillside overlooking the base, and waited for nightfall Shortly after dusk a large hangar on the far side of the army base opened up. Inside, the reporter saw the remains of a large, saucer-shaped craft. The damage to the craft seemed consistent with what one might expect from a missile attack Baflled but excited, scientists in white laboratory coats were inspecting the debris and pointing to the sky. Later, pilot who was still wearing his flight suit came and spoke to one of the scientists. He gestured as he spoke. He seemed to be describing a midair battle, indicating that he had fired a missile at an enemy. Then he pointed to the damaged portion of the saucer-like craft inside the hangar When UFO Watcher Today contacted the army base again, this time relaying startling new information about the damaged vessel in the hangar, the reporter was told to "mind his own business."

Answer 1

The most logical conclusion from the passage is that a series of unexplained events, including sightings of strange lights and the disappearance of a man, occurred in New Mexico. The correct option is (C) A woman in New Mexico saw something bizarre in the sky last December, and on the same night, an older adult man disappeared.

Step-by-step explanation:

A logical conclusion based on the first two paragraphs of the passage is that a series of strange, unexplained events happened in New Mexico last December.

The passage details an incident involving pulsing blue lights and a spinning disc-shaped craft followed by the mysterious disappearance of Mr. Mendez on the same evening.

While there is allusion to an alien abduction, the available information in the passage does not firmly establish extraterrestrial involvement as the only explanation, leaving room for speculation and the possibility of other interpretations.

The logical conclusion based on the first two paragraphs of the passage is (C) A woman in New Mexico saw something bizarre in the sky last December, and on the same night, an older adult man disappeared.

The correct option is (C) A woman in New Mexico saw something bizarre in the sky last December, and on the same night, an older adult man disappeared.
