Gordon has written the following paragraphs about the Hubble Telescope: The Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which was named after

the astronomer Edwin Hubble, orbits the earth and observes the far reaches of the universe in near-ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectra. Its launch in 1990 was the fulfillment of almost 70 years of theory and planning—and almost 20 years of construction. When it was launched, the telescope contained five scientific instruments: a Wide Field and Planetary Camera (WF/PC), a Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS), a High Speed Photometer (HSP), a Faint Object Camera (FOC), and a Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS). After many initial technological challenges, the HST was finally fully operational in 1993 and began capturing some of the most breathtaking pictures of the universe ever recorded. Which is a transitional phrase, and what is its purpose?
A. “the HST was finally fully operational”; to ensure that the text has a formal style

B. “When it was launched”; to provide a clear transition between the ideas in the two paragraphs

C. “the telescope contained five scientific instruments”; to add precise, relevant details to the second paragraph

D. “observes the far reaches of the universe in near-ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectra”; to clarify meaning through the use of topic-specific vocabulary

The man described in the question is Crispus Attucks.

Crispus Attucks was among a huge group of American colonists who were protesting against the passage of the Townshend Acts. These acts put taxes on several important resources such as lead and paper. The colonists protesting this act were face to face with British soldiers who were trying to bring order to the city. This scene turned violent at one point and resulted in the shooting/killing of Crispus Attucks, making him the first death of the American Revolution.
