Default Irrelevant Sentence
Dear Teacher,

I would appreciate if you could please find and explain the irrelevant sentence among the following choices.

Regards,

(I) We haven't conquered space yet.

(II) With gravity, life in space can be based on our experience on Earth.

(III) We have sent some twenty men on camping tips to the moon.

(IV) The USA and the Soviet Union have sent people to spend restricted lives orbiting the Earth.

(V) Astronauts and scientists can live and work in space for a few days only.
