Read the third paragraph from the passage.
A common misunderstanding among Americans is about the amount of money NASA receives from the U. S. government, NASA's budget has accounted
for 0.5 percent of the total U. S. federal budget. That amounts to roughly $10 of an annual personal income tax going toward the best space program in the
world. NASA accounts for 40 times less than what the federal government spends on the Department of Defense. Unfortunately, programs such as Project
Constellation, which promised to return American astronauts to the moon, and ExoMars, which was designed to look for evidence of life on Mars and
eventually land humans on Mars, have been put on hold due to budget cuts.
The author uses this paragraph to develop which two claims?
The U. S. Department of Defense is the strongest in the world, as it uses the funds that should actually be
used by NASA
Project Constellation and ExoMars have been deferred due to a shortage of funds.
The majority of the federal budget should be spent on NASA, as its work is more important than the
Department of Defense.
Collaboration with Russia to build the International Space Station resulted in the depletion of funds.
First
All the nations should come together in order to help NASA raise the necessary funds.
The amount of money spent on NASA is much less than the amount of money spent on the Department of
Defense
