37. Following is the passage which is followed by 4 questions based on its content. After reading a passage , choose the best answer to each question.

If a supernova (the explosion of a massive star) triggered star formation from dense clouds of gas and dust, and if the most massive star to be formed from the cloud evolved into a supernova and triggered a new round of star formation, and so on, then a chain of star -forming regions would result. If many such chains were created in a differentially rotating galaxy,the distribution of stars would resemble the observed distribution in a spiral galaxy. This line of reasoning underlies an exciting new theory of spiral-galaxy structure.

A computer simulation theory has reproduced the appearance of many spiral galaxies without assuming an underlying density wave, the hallmark of the most widely accepted theory of large-scale structure of spiral galaxies. That theory maintains that a density wave of spiral form sweeps through the central plane of galaxy, compressing clouds of gas and dust, which collapse into stars that form a spiral pattern.

The primary purpose of the passage is to :

• Describe what results when a supernova triggers the creation of chains of star-forming regions.
• Propose a modification in the most widely accepted theory of spiral-galaxy structure.
• Compare and contrast the roles of clouds of gas and dust in two theories of spiral-galaxy structure.
• Describe a new theory of spiral-galaxy structure and contrast it with the most widely accepted theory. (Answer)

38. The passage implies that, according to the new theory of spiral-galaxy structure, a spiral galaxy can be created by supernovas when the supernovas are:
• producing an underlying density wave
• affected by a density wave of spiral form
• located in a differentially rotating galaxy (Answer)
• distributed in spiral pattern

39. Which of the following, if true, would most discredit the new theory as described in the passage?
• The exact mechanism by which a star becomes a supernova is not yet completely known and may even differ for different stars.
• The most massive stars formed from supernova explosions are unlikely to evolve into supernovas. (Answer)
• Computer simulations of supernovas provide a poor picture of what occurs just before a supernova explosion,
• A density wave cannot compress clouds of gas and dust to density high enough to create a star.

40. The author's attitude toward the new theory of spiral- galaxy structure can best described as :
• euphoric
• concerned
• enthusiastic (Answer)
• critical
