Comments:This is a difficult phrase. 'plausible' does exist in Spanish, though the RAE's definition indicates it's not a comfortable cognate: "1. adj. Digno o merecedor de aplauso. 2. adj. Atendible, admisible, recomendable. Hubo para ello motivos plausibles." 'posible', in the meantime, while an intuitive leap, would probably consitute an ethically dubious change of meaning in most circumstances. The European Asylum Support Office, in its training materials, uses the term 'verosímil'; while not the most everyday word, it seems an adequate equivalent, and is in use by practitioners in this field.
