00:08

more exciting than mild o philes way went to their

00:11

new year's eve party was just not a hoot We're

00:13

00:29

the following statement from paragraph three while conditions on the

00:32

surface of the earth where humans air happy are likely

00:35

to be extremely rare outside of our home planet the

00:38

range of conditions in which microbes air found on earth

00:41

are more likely to be found on other planets and

00:44

moons Yeah who wrote that George will time agony find

00:49

right right from the excerpt above the reader can infer

00:51

that what And here is a potential answers All right

00:55

Nothing certain unlikely conditions Okay weii read the excerpt and

01:00

revved up the old inn for engines And we got

02:02

that's not to say that microbial life might not exist

02:05

on other planets nearer to us but only human like
