Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Stars, those twinkling points of light in the night sky, may seem eternal. However, they possess a life cycle just like living organisms, albeit on a much grander scale. This cycle begins with a nebula, a vast cloud of gas and dust. Gravity, the architect of the cosmos, pulls this material inwards, causing it to clump together.
As the cloud collapses, the core of this clump heats up dramatically. Eventually, the temperature and pressure become so intense that nuclear fusion ignites, marking the birth of a star. For millions or even billions of years, the star will shine brightly, fueled by the nuclear fusion in its core.
However, even stars have a finite lifespan. As a star ages, it gradually exhausts its fuel source - hydrogen. This triggers a series of transformations, causing the star to expand and cool, becoming a red giant.
The fate of a red giant depends on its initial mass. Smaller stars, like our sun, will eventually shed their outer layers, leaving behind a dense core called a white dwarf. More massive stars experience a more violent end, exploding as spectacular supernovas, which in turn, can seed the universe with the building blocks for new stars and planets.
Question 31
What is the main idea of the reading passage?
- Gravity plays no role in the life cycle of a star.
- Stars are born, evolve through different stages, and eventually die.
- All stars end their lives as supernovas.
