<span>Skloot uses the phrase "by chance" to show Henrietta's uncanny fortune. It showed the serendipity of Henrietta's choosing to go to John Hopkins, because -- as luck would have it -- doctors were currently discussing what, exactly, qualified as cervical cancer, and if such a condition was found, how to treat it. It was as if she chose the perfect time in history to visit. The right people were there; the right topic was the current hot button; she was suffering from the right condition. She could not have been in a better place at a better time had she tried to be.</span>

Read the excerpt from paragraph 13.
IrinaK [193]

The reason that  the author use the phrase 87 years young is option B. The use of this phrase suggests that the author believes that age is just a number and that everyone ages differently.

<h3>Why do some think that age is simply a number?</h3>

It's just meant to be a quote for inspiration. You are neither too old nor too young to try something you want to because age is simply a number.

The biological age of a person is determined by how healthy they are in comparison to the average health of a huge population of people of different ages. Participants who were biologically older felt and looked older than their biologically younger peers, were weaker, less coordinated, and had lower IQs.

Therefore, when they say that age is just a number. That's not actually true, though. Your chronological age and your biological age together make up your age. With birthday candles, chronological age is the one you count.
