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 Alf’s Button (1930).
  • Later, she played many named, credited roles, such as Marjorie Ismay in Forever and a Day (1943).
The student wants to make and support a generalization about Merle Oberon’s early career. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
A
Alf’s Button (1930) was released early in Merle Oberon’s career, whereas Forever and a Day (1943) came out later.
B
Merle Oberon wasn’t even listed in the credits of some of her early films, such as Alf’s Button (1930), where she played a nameless, uncredited role.
C
Alf’s Button and Forever and a Day are both films that include Merle Oberon, the first Indian-born actress to be nominated for an Academy Award.
D
In Alf’s Button (1930), actress Merle Oberon played a nameless, uncredited role.
