Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Asteroids and comets, often referred to as Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), are celestial remnants from the early solar system. While both orbit the sun and pose potential threats to Earth, they differ significantly in their composition and origins.
Asteroids, primarily composed of rock and metal, are believed to have originated within the asteroid belt, a region between Mars and Jupiter. Their rocky composition makes them relatively stable and less prone to fragmentation. Comets, on the other hand, are often described as "dirty snowballs." They are composed of ice, dust, and rock, originating from the colder, outer regions of the solar system, beyond Neptune.
This difference in composition directly affects their appearance. Asteroids, reflecting sunlight off their rocky surfaces, appear as faint points of light. Comets, as they approach the sun, experience a unique phenomenon. The sun''s heat vaporizes the ice within the comet, creating a visible tail of gas and dust that can stretch for millions of kilometers.
While the likelihood of a significant impact from either an asteroid or a comet is relatively low, scientists actively monitor NEOs. This continuous observation allows for early detection and potential mitigation strategies to be developed, safeguarding Earth from these celestial wanderers.
Question 31
What is the main topic of this passage?
- The differences and potential threats of asteroids and comets.
- The composition and origin of planets in our solar system.
- The methods scientists use to monitor and study celestial bodies.

Question 33
What causes the visible tail of a comet?
- The sun''s heat vaporizing the comet''s ice.

- Dust

- To predict the weather patterns on Earth.
- To learn more about the formation of the solar system.
