同求，而且不理解答案

九尾

不是牛人 但是我来说下
原句主体是this production is similar to the original production
as as 结构 用来表示as similar as is possible in a modern theater
（对于这里的第二个is的用法根据 我也不甚了解 希望有大神给出答复）
所以意思就比较清楚了 “在现代剧院中，play LF已经尽可能地像original production了（即属于早期Italy风格）”
ls的喷油不理解答案 我也顺带说了吧
本题逻辑链如下
TC：上演于某剧院的LF写于18th in Italy
director声称LF已经尽可能地像original了
Although actor曾出演过一个20th 的美国喜剧 Marx（会削弱LF像original风格这个说法） ，Marx的style的表演风格实际上是属于早期Italy 风格的（于是就不会削弱了）
问题是：以上内容支持哪一个argument
D选项actor的performance不足以反对director的claim（这个claim就是说已经尽可能像18th Italy风格了    就得以成立了。

刚才搜到的解释，我觉得很好，帖过来

Step one of the Kaplan method tells us to read the question stem, and then to determine the kind of question that it is. The question stem:

“The considerations given best serve as part of an argument that”

Okay, so there are considerations given (by the author) leading up to an argument. The “considerations given” is evidence, and the question wants us to determine the author’s main point, or conclusion. We call this type of question a “main point” question.

Step two is to analyze the stimulus: Normally, we identify a conclusion by looking for words like “thus, therefore, hence, etc.” .... BUT, in a main point question, we actually don’t want to be attracted by those kind of words-they are put there by the test-maker because they know you will naturally be attracted to them in a main point question.

Instead, in a main point question, the author’s main point will often be signalled by a contrast keyword such as “but,” “however,” “while,” or, “although.”

In the passage of this question, we learn of the director’s claim in the second sentence. The director’s claim is that their reproduction of the play is a lot like the original play. The next sentence starts with the word “although.” Here, the function of “although” is to dismiss potential counter-evidence against the director’s claim: the fact that the actor is like 20th century Groucho Marx could be used against the director’s claim (that the reproduction is a faithful representation of the original 16th century version.)

So from the word “although,” and using some critical reasoning, we can determine that the author’s intent in arguing is to defend the director’s claim against evidence that could go against it (against the director’s claim).

Step three of the method is to make a prediction of the right answer. Say to yourself: “The author is defending the director. The author’s main point is that the director’s claim is correct.”

Step four is to aggressively scan for a match to the prediction. Because we spent so much time generating the prediction, and because we don’t care about wrong answers and why they are wrong, we scan for a choice that matches our insight.

Then, choice D is correct.

Because we don’t care about why wrong answers are wrong, and because wrong answers are written by the test-maker to be very tempting, whenever it is possible to predict and match, we should do that instead of over-using POE.
