What would be the main purpose of providing an argument structure that states "The event did not occur at all"?

  1. Eliminate other possible reasons

  2. Give another possible way for the event to have occurred

  3. No other possible explanation

  4. The event could not have happened for any other reason

The correct answer is: No other possible explanation

In this context, providing an argument structure that states "The event did not occur at all" serves the main purpose of implying that there is no other possible explanation for the event. This choice suggests a definitive stance that the event simply did not take place, ruling out all other possible reasons or ways for the event to have happened. By emphasizing that the event did not occur at all, it dismisses alternative scenarios or causes, reinforcing the idea that there is no other explanation for the absence of the event. The other options are not supported by the statement provided in the question.
