1. Select two phrases from the text which support the statement "The announcement does not mean there is a new planet in our solar system.

"The name used during previous hunts for the long suspected giant, undiscovered object beyond Neptune is 'Planet X."

"What we're seeing is an early prediction based on modeling from limited observations. It's the start of a process that could lead to an exciting result."

"there is debate in the scientific community about whether it exists."

"The Caltech scientists believe Planet X may have has a mass about 10 times that of Earth and be similar in size to Uranus or Neptune."

"Astronomers studying the Kuiper Belt have noticed some of the dwarf planets and other small, icy objects tend to follow orbits that cluster together."



2.
Part A: Which of the following inferences can be made based on information from the passage?


A)

"Any object that far away from the sun will be very faint and hard to detect, but astronomers calculate that it should be possible to see it using existing telescopes."


"'Anytime we have an interesting idea like this, we always apply Carl Sagan's rules for critical thinking, which include independent confirmation of the facts, looking for alternate explanations, and encouraging scientific debate,' said Green."


"'We hope that other people are going to get inspired and start searching.'"

Answer:

to Question 1 i think the answer would be "What we're seeing is an early prediction based on modeling from limited observations. It's the start of a process that could lead to an exciting result." and "there is debate in the scientific community about whether it exists."

so question 1 is answers 2 and 3

Question 2 part a is B and D

question 3 is b and c

part a question 4 is scientists have a lot of research and studies that lead to the answer they are trying to find.

Explanation:

im sorry if im wrong on any of it i tried my best with the information that i have.
