What paragraph?
Answered by Gigi
And yet, Linenger recovered quickly. In fact, almost two dozen astronauts have lived in space for more than six months, and four have stayed in orbit for more than a year. These men and women faced the discomforts of weightlessness and overcame them and they all readapted to earth's gravity without problems, proving that voyages to Mars are possible even if it feels like you are hanging upside down the whole time.

A. It describes the negative effects of weightlessness before it describes the positive effects.
B. It is a short work of nonfiction that explains a set of processes.
C. It uses an informal tone to convey factual information.
D. It uses real life examples to explain the main points.
Answered by Gigi
I think that it is D
Answered by Writeacher
D says "to explain"
B says "that explains ... "
--------------------------------------
A says "describes" so that's out.
C says "informal tone" -- which could be true, but I think you need to choose between D and B.
