To add to the complexity, those precious atoms face the peril of disintegrating into the void. Luckily, by now, they are feeling the influence of gravity to bring them safely together. Based on this sentence, the reader can infer that — A There was no gravity at the time of the Big Bang. B The most basic atoms were formed due to the force of gravity. C Gravity developed right after the first atoms fell apart. D The force of gravity helped collapse the newly created atoms.

B The most basic atoms were formed due to the force of gravity.

Explanation:

Since the statement says that the atoms could have faced the peril of disintegrating into the void, this means that, they could have been destroyed by movement away into the void.

But, it also says that by now, they are feeling the influence of gravity to bring them safely together. This statement shows that gravity brings them (the atoms) together and thus doesn't allow them disintegrate into the void.

So, a reader can thus infer that the most basic atoms were formed due to the force of gravity since it doesn't allow the atoms disintegrate into the void.

So, B is the answer.

answer: option c. i.e. electric current flowing “downhill” from the negative electrode to the positive electrode in a battery

explanation:

the water analogy to the circuits define the pipes (water flows) to the electric current. now, we know that the electric current flows from the positive terminal to the circuit (as shown in the diagram attached).

hence, option c is the correct answer.
