1. Read the following excerpt from The Pluto Files by Neil deGrasse Tyson. "The
newly conceived exhibits treated the solar system in a way that was without
precedent for public institutions, even though murmurs had already begun in the
planetary science community that something needed to be done about Pluto's
classification in the solar system." Which paraphrase of this idea best maintains
its formal tone?
A. It took a really long time for museums to show that maybe Pluto isn't a planet,
except for this one museum.
B. Scientists had begun to debate privately whether or not Pluto is a planet, but this
was the first time the concept was presented in a museum for all to see.
C. Museums might not have Pluto in the right spot yet, even though they're supposed
to, because scientists are pretty sure it's not a planet.
D. I always used to get mixed up about Pluto being a planet or not until I saw the solar
system model in a museum that got it right.
