Set to launch in October of 2018, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is NASA’s successor to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) now orbiting Earth. The capability of the Hubble to take clear images into deep space has provided astronomers some of the most highly detailed observations into space and time. Using primarily infrared vision, the James Webb can look further into space than the Hubble, which observes using primarily the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of electromagnetic waves. Visible colors, the colors of the rainbow, are a very small part of this spectrum. Ultraviolet waves are smaller waves than visible color and infrared are larger waves. It is an advantage for the James Webb Telescope to use infrared waves to observe because most stars and planets hide behind cocoons of dust that make them difficult to see with visible light. Infrared can penetrate these dusty clouds revealing the secrets behind them.

Read this passage: many manufacturers prefer plastic as a material for containers because it can be molded into many shapes. but plastic is not very strong. it must be fused with glass or steel for strength. it is also not very durable. even the strongest plastic can break under enough pressure. the biggest disadvantage to using plastic is that it does not decompose. while plastic can be recycled, doing so is tedious and difficult. while it may be more expensive and difficult to work with, aluminum is a much stronger building material with far greater tensile strength. it conducts electricity because it is metal. best of all, aluminum is very easy to recycle. even if it is thrown away, it decomposes much more quickly than most manufacturing materials. how does the compare-and-contrast organizational pattern of the passage support the author's purpose? a. the passage gradually leads up to the point about decomposition to inform the reader about the importance of recycling plastics. b. the passage lists the advantages and disadvantages of each material to make a case for the use of plastic and not aluminum in containers. c. the passage begins with a description of plastic's problems in order to call attention to the good qualities of aluminum. d. the passage shows the superiority of aluminum in order to make a case for the production of stronger plastics.
