Explanation for Question 43 From the Reading Section on the 2019 March Sat
Looking at number 43, 2 we want to know which of the following is true about the 1994 spacecraft 3 mission. So let's refer back to the passage where this is being discussed. 4 Um, we see that this mission produced a radar measurements 5 that were consistent with water ice, though. 6 Many planetary scientists were unconvinced. 7 So the role of this was introducing a new idea that hadn't really been 8 thought of before. Um, we see from paragraph one that previously there 9 was an expectation that there was no water on the moon. 10 And then the finding of this mission produced radar measurements that were consistent with 11 water ice. So, um, 12 answer twice, I provided evidence about the moon that was featured in science magazine, 13 not the main point of this example. 14 So we can eliminate choice a choice B it was not specifically designed to 15 detect water on the moon. Um, 16 we don't know for sure what it was specifically designed to do. 17 Um, we just know what it achieved according to our author. 18 So we can eliminate B answer choice C it offered preliminary indications of water 19 on the moon is exactly correct. 20 Uh, answer twice day. It did not use the most up-to-date radar technology. 21 Again, we don't know exactly what technology it used, 22 so we won't select dot D either. 23 Um, so answer choice C is correct. The 1994 Clementine spacecraft mission 24 offered preliminary indications of water on the moon.
