While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • Merle Oberon (1911–1979) was an actress born in Mumbai (then known as Bombay), India.
  • She was of Indian, Maori, and Irish heritage.
  • She was the first Indian-born actress to be nominated for an Academy Award.
  • Early in her career, she played many nameless, uncredited roles, such as her role in The Three Passions (1928).
  • Later, she played many named, credited roles, such as Empress Josephine in Désirée (1954).
The student wants to emphasize a similarity between the two films. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
A
The Three Passions and Désirée are both films that include Merle Oberon, the first Indian-born actress to be nominated for an Academy Award.
B
The Three Passions (1928) was released early in actress Merle Oberon’s career, whereas Désirée (1954) came out later.
C
In The Three Passions (1928), actress Merle Oberon played a nameless, uncredited role; however, in Désirée (1954), she played a credited role—that of Empress Josephine.
D
Early in her career, Merle Oberon wasn’t listed in some film credits, such as the credits for the film The Three Passions, where she played a nameless, uncredited role.
