Transcript
So...let's take the plunge without a parachute.
If life were discovered on Mars, as (D) claims, then we probably would've heard about it.
Unless the government staged a big cover-up.
Whatever the case, choice (D) isn't passage-approved so we can take it out of the running.
(C) isn't correct either. The passage specifically tells us that the volcanoes of Mars are inactive.
We can also cross off choice (B), since the passage doesn't say anything about Mars
having an unusually high gravitational field. Answer (A) is correct. Lines 46 through 49
confirm that NASA thinks there's a chance of water on Mars.
The discovery of water would be great for all those Martians who've really been needing a shower.
