As far as I remember there was no other way for the pilot. He was sentenced to a capital punishment as he commited a crime. But the actions, I thing, wasn't bad because he gave the possibility for the girl stowaway to communicate with her brother. I think it is enough for you and do hope you will find it helpful.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Based on the transcript, Welles most likely trying to : Option A: Present a message about how trustful people are of media.

Explanation:

When War of Worlds was broadcast, people listening to the radio across the U.S. heard a report of some creatures and war machines entering New York City. But this was not a real news bulletin. It was  'Orson Welles' version of the H. G. Wells classic novel "The War of the Worlds." People began to get panic with the news specially at some moments as Welles even used special elements including music break, bulletins which made this broadcast very successful and a huge public attention.

This shows that people trust media.
