Synthesizing Notes Practice Test

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• Edwin Hubble used the 100-inch Hooker Telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory in 1929.
• Hubble measured galactic redshifts and distances to show galaxies recede from Earth.
• The relationship between recession velocity and distance became known as Hubble’s law.
• Hubble’s findings supported the idea that the universe is expanding over time.
• Georges Lemaître independently proposed an expanding-universe model in 1927 using relativity.
• Mount Wilson Observatory is located near Pasadena, California, and opened in 1904.

The student wants to emphasize how Hubble’s observations provided evidence for an expanding universe. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• The ancient Greek playwright Sophocles wrote tragedies for Athenian dramatic festivals.
