Summarize the central idea of a passage
what is the central idea of this passage from
tyson's essay?
o black holes and stars are both gigantic balls
of gas.
black holes are a dangerous and powerful
force in the universe.
since stars are 100 percent certified balls of
gas, they are not immune from the fate that
greeted our hapless clouds. if one star in a
binary system becomes a black hole, then the
black hole does not get to eat until late in the
companion star's life, when it swells to
become a red giant. if the red giant grows
large enough, then it will ultimately get
flayed, as the black hole peels and eats the
star, layer by layer. but for a star that just
happens to wander into the neighborhood,
tidal forces will initially stretch it, but
eventually, differential rotation will shear the
star into a friction-heated disk of highly
black holes eat anything that comes within
their reach
red giants are protected from black holes by
their size.

Ok which of peter's lines shows that he is using personal experience to understand the reading?

Kwan gazed out at her brother and heard his shrieks of delight as he tried to direct their marvelous flying creation. she watched it wheel, spin, and dive—a wild, colorful bird putting on an aerial display. its gold and red crepe-paper wings fluttered in the air, mimicking the flight of a predatory bird surveying the landscape for prey. it swooped and dived, perhaps discovering a possible meal, and then went airborne again to avoid the rocky terrain below. min was the falconer, guiding his bird on its path through the sky, not yet ready to call it back to the ground. but kwan grew concerned when she looked out at the dark, threatening clouds beginning to roll in off the water. when she saw the streaks of lightning within the cloud formation, she pointed to the distant storm and called out to her little brother to bring in the kite. min nodded and rolled in the kite string, bringing his bird home. “let’s go,” kwan told her brother and put her arm around him to fold him safely under her wing as they both held onto the kite. “it’s time to go home.” how does the extended metaphor in paragraph 3 affect the mood of this passage? a-it creates a feeling of silliness that captures the absurd humor of the situation. b- it creates a sense of tranquility to match the feelings of min at this point. c-it creates a feeling of fear over what may happen if the kite crashes. d-it creates a sense of awe and wonder at min's mastery of the kite.
