   EVT is, in general, a more reliable method for projecting future trends based on past observations than

   This extends the application of these statistical models beyond the limit of human life spans. These models could be applied to other topics and predicting their reliability is unknown from the given statements.

   EVT fits the data about the highest observed human life spans more closely than do

   Why this is right

   This must be true since no one has lived beyond the upper limits of EVT analysis (124 years) and traditional analysis predicts that some humans could live beyond 130 years.

   Skill tested: Must be True · how this choice captures the argument's function is the move to repeat next time.

   According to the findings derived through the use of EVT, it is physically impossible for any human being to

   This goes beyond what can be known for sure. While no one has lived beyond the upper limits indicated by EVT analysis, that doesn't mean it's impossible for someone to do so.

   Given the results generated by EVT, there is no point in conducting research aimed at greatly extending the upper

   This suggests that it is impossible to extend human life beyond the limit indicated by EVT analysis, but that takes the information too far. Even though the data fits EVT analysis better than traditional analysis, the limits indicated by EVT analysis are not necessarily the actual limits of the human life span.

   Traditional statistical methods of empirical data analysis should eventually be replaced by some

   Whether EVT analysis should replace traditional analysis is not suggested by the statements, since nothing in the statements suggest a preference for one method over the other.
