Question 3
3.

best
describes how paragraph 14 contributes to the aesthetic impact of the passage?

B complex experiments
C recent discoveries
D conflicting theories
Question 5
5.
Why does the author include information about Einstein's Theory of Relativity near the beginning of
Passage 1
?
A The theory would have considered dark matter had Einstein been able to study the effects of gravitational lensing.
B The theory was disproved by the weak lensing images of an Einstein cross captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.
C The theory is the foundation for scientific developments that led to using a gravitational lens to study a supernova.
D The theory led to predictions about supernovae that are different from what has been observed through the Hubble Space Telescope.
Question 6
6.
How does the author's use of
enshrined
in paragraph 22 impact meaning in Passage 2?
A It highlights the precious nature of scientific discoveries.
B It suggests that the dicovery by Einstein is deeply respected.

D It indicates the difficulty that Einstein experienced when making his discovery.
Question 7
7.

A The connection demonstrates how much of the universe still has not been discovered.
B The connection provides an opportunity to praise the work of highly regarded scientists .
C The connection reinforces the difficulty involved in discovering new features of the universe.
D The connection leads to the suggestion that even greater discoveries about the universe are possible.
Question 8
8.
The following item has two parts. Answer Part A, then answer part B.
Part A
Which sentence
best
summarizes the central idea in passage 2?
A A distant supernova has been named for a scientist who studied gravitational lensing; a supernova that was visible in the past will be visible again in the future.
B Astonomers are successfully using the Hubble Space Telescope to dicover new types of supernovae; a supernova has resulted in a formation known as an Einstein cross.
C Galaxy clusters sometimes serve as a natural magnifying glass for objects behind them; scientists have seen multiple images of a supernova in deep space.
D Scientists are using computer models to make predictions about the universe; it becomes easier to see distant objects when they are viewed through gravitational lenses.
Question 9
9.
Part B
How are these central ideas developed in the passage?
A Paragraphs 16-19 explain how the supernova's position in relation to a galaxy has caused the supernova image to appear 4 times.
B Paragraphs 17 and 21 provide a detailed description of the Einstein cross to show the usefulness of the Hubble Space Telescope.
C Paragraphs 19 and 27 refer to the supernova by name, and paragraph 29 explains when it is likely to be visible again.
D Paragraphs 22 through 26 describe unique effects created by gravity, and paragraph 27 provides an example of its effects.
Question 10
10.
The following item has two parts. Answer Part A and then answer Part B.
Part A
Which claim do authors of
both
passages make?
A The current methods of gravitational lensing need drastic improvements.
B The use of gravitational lensing will provide scientists with more knowledge about the universe.
C The most important discoveries are made when scientists can exercise perfect timing.
D The practice of gravitational lensing is most useful when used with computers.
Question 11
11.
How do authors develop the claim in both passages?
A by describing scientists' plans to learn more about dark matter.
B by noting that scientists will have multiple attempts to study the same event.
C by explaining how light is impacted by gravity from a star or other large mass.
D by providing an explanation of how lensing can improve telescopes.
Question 12
12.
How does the presentation of ideas in the passages impact meaning?
A Although both passages begin by contrasting a lensed supernova with other distant objects unaffected by gravitational lensing, passage 1 speculates about the cause of the supernova, while passage 2 describes its possible future effects.
B Although both passages begin by establishing that gravitational lensing has led to the discovery of a distant supernova, passage 1 gives additional information about the supernova, while passage 2 provides a detailed explanation of gravitational lensing.
C Both passage 1 and 2 define gravitational lensing, and then give various examples of how it has affected objects in space.
D Both passage 1 and passage 2 describe the main problem astronomers face when attempting to study distant objects, and then explain how gravitational lensing provides a partial solution to that problem.
