Answer: [C]: __________________________________________________________ "<span>Scientists believe it's important to know why the sun's atmosphere is hot." __________________________________________________________ Note: Consider: _________________________________________ Choice [A]: "</span><span>Other planets have more total solar eclipses than Earth does." This choice is INCORRECT; since nowhere in the article is this mentioned or implied; nor can this be inferred. _________________________________________ Choice [B]: "</span><span>Solar winds will soon stop flowing out of the sun's upper atmosphere." This choice is INCORRECT. Note that "solar winds" are mentioned in the last paragraph of the article. But the article never mentions or implies that the solar winds will "soon stop flowing out of [the sun's upper atmosphere]". _________________________________________ Choice [D]: "</span><span>Most scientists don't care too much about total solar eclipses." This choice is INCORRECT. To the contrary, this article emphasizes that scientist are very interested in "total solar eclipses".

Note: The third paragraph of this article directly emphasizes this. _____________________________________________________
