Answer:
A
Explanation:
Ambiguity in literature refers to all those events, circumstances, story-lines or symbols in a context that carry multiple meanings.
A single element can have several interpretations and this allows the reader to engage in an active manner in the story by wondering about the meanings implied by the author according to personal experiences or reactions.
Ambiguity in literature means that the author is deliberately leaving certain meanings within the text unclear, and so when a reader is analyzing a part of the text, they can come up with multiple meanings, thus A is the correct answer.
Answer:
A star can live for billions of years: Option A.
Explanation:
The given excerpt clearly indicates that a star can run out of hydrogen and energy only after millions or billions of years. Only then it collapses to a little ball with gravity. This means it would live till those millions or billions of years.
'Black hole' is a region in the space which has such strong gravitational force that it pulls every object that passes through it. Albert Einstein predicted that black star would exist if a dead star also had enough gravity. Hence, "option A" is the correct one.
