For a compound, you have accurate G data for all values of P that are in the range 1 – 5 MPa, and also in the range P = 7 – 13 MPa. A model exists, but it only agrees with the data below 10 MPa, and not at all above 10 MPa. You need to make a continuous plot for G that covers the entire range from 2 to 15 MPa. Which of the following is most reasonable course of action?

A. Extrapolate from the 1 – 5 MPa data range up to 15 MPa. B. Interpolate between the 1 – 5 MPa data range and 7 – 13 MPa data range. C. Interpolate between the 1 – 5 MPa data range and 7 – 13 MPa data range and then extrapolate the data up to 15 MPa. D. Use the data from 1 to 5 MPa, then the model from 5 to 7, then the data from 7 to 13 MPa. Finally extrapolate the data up to 15 MPa. E. Use the data from 1 to 5 MPa, then the model from 5 to 7, then the data from 7 to 13 MPa. Finally, model the data up to 15 MPa.
