Hi @phyeamang,

Happy to help!

Answer choice (E) is the correct answer for this question.

We learn that recreating an accident with a computer-generated display provides litigators with explanatory advantages because people generally retain about 85% of visual information, but only 10% of aural information. Computer-generated recreations allow jurors to experience the event.

We are looking for the answer choice which outlines a scenario that is most similar to this.

Answer choice (A) is incorrect because it is using the information to argue, rather than simply recreate.

Answer choice (B) is incorrect because it involves using a former version to correct a current version. The computer-generated display is simply used to depict the original accident in a courtroom.

Answer choice (C) is incorrect because it is used to predict, rather than simply recreate.

Answer choice (D) is incorrect because it is trying to inform a future production, not inform people about an event which occurred.

Finally, answer choice (E) is correct because the exhibit is attempting to depict a recent eruption, allowing people to experience the event.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
