Read this passage from “Suited for Spacewalking,” A NASA publication.
The temperature range of outer space and on planetary bodies is affected by a wide range of factors. In outer space, the temperature on a surface depends upon whether that surface is in sunlight and if so, the angle of that surface to the Sun’s rays. On a planetary body, the temperature also varies with the ambient atmospheric temperature, winds, and nearby surface materials. For example, on Earth temperatures can vary dramatically on a summer day between asphalt parking lots and grassy borders.
Which of the following details is the most specific in its support of the main idea?
A.
Temperature of a surface in outer space in the sunlight depends on the angle of that surface to the sun’s rays.
B.
Temperature of a surface in outer space depends on whether or not the surface is in the sunlight.
C.
On Earth, temperatures can vary on a summer day between asphalt parking lots and grassy borders.
D.
On a planetary body, the temperature varies with temperature, wind, and nearby surface materials.
