Answer:

Dr. Tyson<em> (Neil deGrasse Tyson)</em> decided to exclude Pluto from the exhibits of planets because, for him, Pluto was behaving differently from the other planets.<em> It behaved like a comet and was made up of mostly ice.</em> It also crossed orbits which was common for comets but <u>unusual for planets</u>.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the "Astrophysicist Chronicles The Battle Over Pluto." It talks about the reason why Dr. Tyson, the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, didn't include the <em>9th planet</em> (Pluto) in his exhibit.

In addition to the answer above, Dr. Tyson also noticed how Pluto was located in the <u>outer solar system</u> in the <em>1990s</em>. This outer solar system is known as the "Kuiper Belt," where you can find other comets and Pluto is considered to be the first object to be identified here.

Argue for or against the limitation of speed limits.
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Since this is an opinion question you can take it either way.

Pros:
 - lower speed may cause lower speed accidents, which are less deadly         than their high speed alternatives
 - lower speed could potentially allow people to get lost less often because        they are able to navigate and respond earlier
 <span>- gas savings from optimal operating conditions                                            (between 88.5 - 96.5 km/h [55-60 mph])</span>

Cons:
 - longer commute times
 - less enjoyable (if you enjoy driving fast)
 - may contribute to overall congestion and increase in accidents as              people spend more time on average on the roads

Either way, support our opinion and you'll be right.
