read the text. not so lonely planet are we alone? this question has weighed on the minds of humans for centuries. some have long claimed that alien life indeed exists both within earths solar system and beyond. still, conclusive proof of alien life has remained out of reach. recently, however, nasa scientists have given the world a reason to believe that the existence of alien life is not only possible, but probable. recent discoveries suggest that, beyond earth, the solar system is full of conditions that could support life as we know it. continuing evidence of water in other parts of the galaxy, as well as a recent breakthrough discovery of seven habitable exoplanets similar to earth, support the notion that finding alien life is a quickly approaching possibility. what is the authors main claim or argument? experts have claimed for years that alien life exists. scientists have discovered evidence of alien life. it is likely that alien life exists beyond earth.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
The text starts by posing the question of whether we are alone, mentions long - standing claims of alien life, and then focuses on recent NASA discoveries suggesting the probability of alien life beyond Earth. It doesn't say scientists have discovered evidence of alien life (only that it's likely), and the main point is not just that experts have claimed it for years but the new likelihood based on recent findings.
Answer:
It is likely that alien life exists beyond Earth.
