Question

Which statement best describes how the author conveys the message that humans are no match for the power of a black hole?
He explains scientific theories to the reader and provides the definitions for difficult terms and words.
He uses logic and reason to lay out each individual step of human combustion as it is absorbed by the tidal force.
He provides helpful comparisons of black holes with other cosmic phenomena that the reader may already know.
He personalizes the experience for the reader and uses vivid imagery to create a clear mental picture.

Answer 1

He personalizes the experience for the reader and uses vivid imagery to create a clear mental picture.

This choice best explains how the author makes humans seem powerless—by putting the reader into the scene with sensory detail and dramatic images (stretching, heat, darkness), rather than focusing on technical definitions or step-by-step scientific exposition.
