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.
Once again, Melville devotes a chapter to the minutiae of the whaling industry, but in this case he extends his description of the whale line to its more metaphorical implications. Ishmael compares the whale line to a noose, and in turn compares this noose to the mortality of all humans. Once again, this metaphor takes on sinister implications, a reminder of impending death and destruction that may come at any moment.
No it is no a slang , it is not that informal.
