E) concede that a poorly conceived project can still provide a benefit to those involved

E) concede that a poorly conceived project can still provide a benefit to those involved

Explanation:

The author primarily contrasts the gaudiness of the “abode” with the tastefulness of another house nearby in order to advance her line of reasoning about the difficulty of making “improvements” to a rural setting. However, the author concludes by considering a new piece of evidence, the relationship between the project and its workers. In light of this new evidence, the author shifts her line of reasoning: instead of demonstrating that the project was an aesthetic failure, she explains that even though the results of the abode’s “improvements” were ugly, the project nevertheless provided employment and training for the workers involved. By pointing out the project’s benefits to the community, the author softens her criticisms of its aesthetic failures.

it would take 95 years for that supernova to be visible on earth, so the year would be about 2113. i hope i did my calculation right.
