Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #34351 Jupiter
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
Jupiter has 2-1/2 times more mass as compared to all other planets put together. Besides, its diameter is 11 times more than Earth's diameter. Because of its size, the scientists were also forced into believing that it became a star. Gasses and dust contracted to build the planet and immense pressure was created by the gravitational forces along with tens of thousands of degrees of temperature. However, unlike the Sun, the unavailability of sufficient mass required to create the temperature which can initiate fusion reaction, Jupiter relatively got cooler over a period of time.

Option 4: "Jupiter has two and a half times the mass of all the other planets combined."

Explanation: This option accurately reflects a key point made in the passage, which states that Jupiter has 2-1/2 times more mass compared to all other planets combined. This statement encapsulates the main idea of the text, focusing on Jupiter's mass as a significant characteristic.

Option 1: "comparison of Jupiter’s temperature with other planets"

Explanation: This option suggests a focus on temperature comparison, which is not the main theme of the text. The passage mentions temperature in relation to Jupiter's mass and formation but does not primarily discuss temperature comparisons with other planets.

Option 2: "size of Jupiter compared to other planets"

Explanation: While the passage does mention Jupiter's size, it does not focus on a direct comparison of size with other planets. The main idea revolves around Jupiter's mass and its implications rather than just its size.

Option 3: "Jupiter’s development as compared to Earth over a period"

Explanation: This option implies a comparison of Jupiter's development specifically with Earth, which is not the central theme of the passage. The text discusses Jupiter's mass and formation but does not elaborate on a developmental comparison with Earth.
