A situation and the outcome are presented. Four statements follow thereafter. Each statement is to be separately evaluated in relation to the situation and outcome.

Situation: Abhijit Roy is training for a national swimming meet. His event is 800m freestyle. In winning the last five races, his time has never exceeded 8 minutes.
