The sentences below have words that are missing. Choose the best option from those given below to complete the sentence.

Visually strong, ________ films of the 1920s are __________ preserved and suffer from censorship cuts, leading to the _________ that they were primitive and barely watchable.

We can fill in the given triplets in the sentence and interpret them to find the one that best conveys the meaning

• A. Visually strong, monochrome films of the 1920s are barely preserved and suffer from censorship cuts, leading to the observation that they were primitive and barely watchable.
• B. Visually strong, silent films of the 1920s are poorly preserved and suffer from censorship cuts, leading to the misconception that they were primitive and barely watchable.
• C. Visually strong, action- packed films of the 1920s are badly preserved and suffer from censorship cuts, leading to the accusation that they were primitive and barely watchable.
• D. Visually strong, classic films of the 1920s are dispassionately preserved and suffer from censorship cuts, leading to the conclusion that they were primitive and barely watchable.
  

Out of the four choices, option B presents the right set of words (silent films, poorly preserved, and misconception), and the right contrast (visually strong - but poorly preserved - misconception that barely watchable), and hence is the correct answer.
