Critical Reasoning (CR) | For the first time, an earth-like planet has been discovered.

­For the first time, an earth-like planet has been discovered. This planet is orbiting another star.

The argument above assumes which of the following?

A. Extraterrestrial organisms are likely to appear in forms similar to terrestrial ones.

B. Life cannot exist on the other planets of our solar system.

C. Life will always occur wherever earth-like planets exist.

D. Life is most likely to arise under earth-like conditions.

E. Life from other kinds of planets is too difficult todetect.
