Back to paper

 Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
 The search for life on Mars has become more urgent thanks in part to probes by the two
 rovers now roaming Mars’ surface and another spaceship that is orbiting the planet. In recent
 months, they’ve made a series of astonishing discoveries that, once again, tempt scientists to
 believe that Mars harbours life—or did so in the past. At a February conference in the
 Netherlands, an audience of Mars experts was surveyed about Martian life. Some 75 per cent
 of the scientists said they thought life once existed there, and of them, 25 per cent think that
 Mars harbours life today

Identify the inference drawn from the passage.

A minimal percentage of Mars experts believe there is life on Mars today. This is directly inferred from the stats in the passage.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
