185. (b) Describing a new theoretical model and noting that it explains the nature of observations made of a particular natural phenomenon (Because the author describes the new model called "the Geminid" and explains the distribution of particles in the meteor stream)
186. (c) Meteor streams are composed of dust particles derived from comets (Because the very first line states that "A meteor stream is composed of dust particles")
187. (d) test the hypothesis that meteor streams become broader as they age (Because the first paragraph states that "Astronomers have hypothesized that a meteor stream should broaden with time")
188. (a) Meteor activity would gradually increase to a single, intense peak, and then gradually decline (Because the para 2 tells that the new model showed that "Two brief periods of peak meteor activity during the shower would be observed")
189. (a) They are ejected by the comet at differing velocities (Because the first para tells that "These particles follow the same orbit as the parent comet, but due to their differing velocities they slowly gain on or fall behind the disintegrating comet until a shroud of dust surrounds the entire cometary orbit")
190. (d) Meteor showers caused by older meteor streams should be, on average, longer in duration than those caused by very young meteor streams (Because the first para suggests that "Astronomers have hypothesized that a meteor stream should broaden with time" and "The researcher found, as expected, that the computer-model stream broadened with time')
191. (c) It crosses the Geminid meteor stream once every year (Because the last para states that "Has the predicted twin-peaked activity been observed for the actual yearly Geminid meteor shower" so it can be inferred that it crosses the Geminid meteor stream once every year)
192. (c) The computer-model Geminid meteor stream provides an accurate representation of the development of the actual Geminid stream (Because the last sentence " The time intervals between the bursts suggest the actual Geminid stream is about 3,000 years old" assumes that the computer model is an accurate representation of the actual Geminid stream)
