The documentary filmmaker spent three years following her subjects, a dedication that allowed her to capture moments of _______ honesty that would have been impossible with a shorter timeline. Viewers praised the film for its authentic portrayal of everyday life.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
forced
genuine
artificial
scripted
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The passage emphasizes the filmmaker's long-term dedication and the resulting "authentic portrayal." "Genuine" means real and sincere, which aligns with capturing honest, unscripted moments.
Choice A is incorrect because "forced" suggests something unnatural, contradicting authentic. Choice C is incorrect because "artificial" is the opposite of authentic. Choice D is incorrect because "scripted" contradicts the spontaneous capture described.
