This could be considered a biography because it is someone else's life that is being written by someone else
Rebecca Saxe and her colleagues conducted an experiment on morals and social habits. The most important conclusions are the following:
- When people gather in large groups, there is a possibility that both good and bad things may happen. Although a group may have good intentions (on social, political, or other aspects), there is always a possibility that this group may harm those outside the group.
- Saxe states that a person individually can express a certain morality and values but, when being in a group, those could be set aside. The individual could even end up doing things that contradict what he/she personally thinks. This can be explained because in this group, the individual experiences anonymity and feels no need to take responsibility for the group’s actions.
- The hypothesis of the research argues that when an individual enters a group, they can be ignore their individual and moral beliefs, being prone to participate in activities that they might consider arguable if they were not part of it.
Answer:
The best choice is:
We heard unreliable rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared.
Explanation:
We need to find a way to eliminate ambiguity in the sentence. In this case, ambiguity is being caused by an issue with the antecedent of the pronoun "they". In "We heard rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared, but they were unreliable," "they" may refer to "rumors" or to "brothers". Even though we can assume the pronoun refers to "rumors", because of the word "unreliable" that follows it, the ambiguity is still there.
In "
We heard rumors about the disappearance of the Delacroix brothers, but we always thought they were unreliable," the revision made does not change anything. "They" can still refer to "rumors" or to "brothers". We can eliminate this option.
However, in "We heard unreliable rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared," we no longer have any ambiguity. The pronoun "they" is not used anymore, and the adjective "unreliable" is placed right before "rumors", which makes its meaning clear. Thus, we can choose this option as the best one.
