The best example of a circular argument from the choices provided is:
**This movie did poorly in theaters because people did not go to see it.**
This statement is circular because it essentially restates the claim without providing any new evidence or reasoning; it doesn't explain why people did not go to see the movie, it merely restates the assertion that the poor performance was due to low attendance.
