Look at the image and read the excerpt from "Black Hole Beginnings."

Several spheres shown in movement by wispy tails behind them. Some collide and merge together.

As the star material gathers, its inward pressure grows. The nuclei respond by zipping and zooming faster and faster, veering away from each other all the while. However, when the pressure gets high enough, the nuclei are going so fast that their speed overpowers their repulsion. Slamming into one another, they push through each other’s force fields and fuse.

Which statement correctly explains how the image and text work together to support understanding?

The image shows nuclei moving away from each other, and the text explains why they move away from each other.
The image shows the speed and motion of the nuclei, and the text explains why they fuse.
The image shows the pressure created as material gathers, and the text explains the speed of the nuclei.
The image shows the nuclei’s force fields, and the text explains how the force fields form.

The statement that correctly explains the way the image and the text work together is:

B) The image shows the speed and motion of the nuclei, and the text explains why they fuse.

Explanation:

Even though you did not post the picture, you described what is in it. I also found it online, which allows me to answer this question safely.

The picture is basically showing us the nuclei and the way they move. The wispy tails behind them serve to imply great speed. We can also see, from the way they are disposed, that the nuclei move in different directions.

The passage, in its turn, serves to explain how and why they fuse. The nuclei, in their frenzy, end up colliding, slamming into one another. They fuse when they push through other nuclei's force fields.

Note: I tried to upload the picture, but some error prevented me to.

ever since wwii tmthey always did hated each other.

it depends on which society you are referring to. many civilization performed rituals so the gods would with their growing season but the most well known is that of the aztecs. they would make sacrifices, usually animals, but sometimes humans as well.
