I don't think answer choice D describes the perspective of Some Astronomers. (D) says that the LHB was linked to a small body distintegrating.
The passage said: "Since the sizes of LHB craters suggest they were formed by large bodies, some astronomers believe that the LHB was linked to the disintegration of an asteroid or comet orbiting the Sun. In this view, a large body broke apart and peppered the inner solar system with debris."
Would it be OK to categorize everything before the author's opinion as context, in a way? From the way I see it, the author gave us a bunch of context about these three sides, then basically went "in light of that", and gave their new observations.
omg i was going about trying to figure out the MP of these passages COMPLETELY WRONG whoooops I was trying to sum. the entire passage rather than looking for the author's POV!
How would we best describe the relationship and differences between summary and main point questions?
I understand we have made the distinction that a summary of the passage is NOT the same as the main point point of the passage, even though a main point answer can include some elements of a summary as long as it focuses on the main perspective.
What about if we were given a summary question? Does a summary HAVE to include the main point to be accurate? If so, should we be treating summary and main point questions as being more or less the same in that our goal is looking for the main point in both?
Could answer choice A also be wrong because its statement that LHB occurred "about four billion years ago" goes against the second hypothesis, which predicts that LHB occurred over a longer period beyond 4 billion years?

I dont understand how E is correct when in the last lesson he literally just said it wasn't a summary of the entire passage?
#help How do you blind review? Where is the feature for it? Do I just click submit?
A says perhaps which is not strong when we know it did and it also did not mention the questionable reasoning the author said too
I think I was a little caught up with the word “widespread” even though I picked E. Widespread is so not specific
A was very tempting, like the Sirens tempting Odysseus
Something fun to do: search for only "meteorite" on Google. You should get one falling across your screen.

How do we know that the segment on "new support for the hypothesis..." is the author's perspective and not just additional context?
