While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
<ul> <li>Black holes form when massive stars collapse at the end of their lives.</li> <li>Neutron stars also form from collapsed massive stars.</li> <li>Black holes have such strong gravity that not even light can escape.</li> <li>Neutron stars are extremely dense but allow light to escape.</li> <li>Both result from supernova events.</li> </ul> The student wants to contrast the two stellar remnants. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?Which choice most effectively makes the student's point?
- Acheck_circle
Black holes have gravity strong enough to trap light, while neutron stars are extremely dense yet still allow light to escape.
- B
Both form from supernova events.
- C
Both involve dense matter.
- D
Neutron stars are dense.
Explanation
The goal is contrasting the remnants. Choice C contrasts light-trapping and light-escaping. A is similarity, B and D describe both as dense.
