2. How does this small region's increasing density affect its gravitational field?
3. What is the end result of the gradually increasing concentration of the small region of gas?

• A. 1 only
• B. 2 only
• C. 2 and 3 only
• D. 1, 2 and 3

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

2 and 3 only

The first question is not answered by the text. So, options (a) and (d) can be eliminated because question 2 is in both remaining options, it will be answered by the passage, we should then check for the question 3. It is answered "As it contracts its density increases which increases its gravity even more so that it picks up even more matter and contracts even further". Thus, question 2 and 3 are answered by the passage.

(c) is the answer.
