Question

Which option best summarizes the main points of the passage?

• A. Stars are created by gravitational instability. A cloud of gas keeps contracting till a much denser object is formed.
• B. Stars are the result of gravitational instability. When a cloud of gas is moved, a denser region is formed, which has more gravity. So, it attracts matter, gets denser and more contracted. Finally, a star is born.
• C. Stars form due to gravitational instability. If a cloud of gas is moved, a denser region is formed. This region attracts more matter and becomes even denser by contraction. This continues till a star is formed.
• D. Stars are made when clouds of gas contract and get denser.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Stars form due to gravitational instability. If a cloud of gas is moved, a denser region is formed. This region attracts more matter and becomes even denser by contraction. This continues till a star is formed.

Summary is an overview of content that provides the reader with the overarching theme of a text, but does not expand on specific details.
