Without gravity, however, the heart and blood vessels change – and the longer the flight, the more severe the changes.
Which sentence from the article provides further support for the claim?

Read the list of sentences from the article.
1. Like inactivity, space flight leads to the loss of both strength and skeletal muscle mass, in a process known as atrophy.
2. During long spaceflights on the ISS, research found that 37 crew members experienced a decrease in average strength of between 8 and 17 percent.
3. They make the new material they need or get rid of any material that isn't needed.
4. During spaceflight, however, the balance of these two processes changes, which leads to reduced bone mineral.
Which two sentences taken together provide the BEST explanation for WHY the body loses muscle and bone mass while in space?

Read the paragraph from the section "Rocket Transported Blood Samples To Earth."
Generally speaking, there were just about as many epigenetic changes in Scott as there were in his twin. The biggest difference was observed nine months into Scott's space mission. There were changes near genes that handle immune system response. The immune system protects the body from diseases. The researchers believe these changes were because Scott had signs of inflammation. This is a normal response when the body is hurt or sick and needs to heal.
What conclusion is BEST supported by the paragraph above?

Which two of the following sentences from the article include central ideas of the article?
1. The study reveals that after a year in space, astronaut Scott Kelly experienced no major, long-term differences to his epigenome compared to that of his twin brother, Mark Kelly, who stayed firmly planted on Earth. 2.
