Which of the following, if true, would tend most to weaken the force of the skeptics’ objections?
(E) says Analysis relying on X rays can only detect certain pigments underneath the painting.
Skeptics are saying X-ray examinations DO NOT show hidden mountains underneath the painting
E says that X-Ray machines can only detect CERTAIN PIGMENTS underneath the painting. So if the mountains are painted using some different pigment, X-Ray machines would not be able to detect it and hence it strengthens what the Skeptics are saying.
claimants: there are mountains behind mona lisa's painting
skeptics: there are no hidden moutains in the pic because it does not come up in the xray --> this would be weakened as you say in E because the xray only detects white colour...
hope that helps.
