The question is missing alternatives. Here is the complete question.

An infrared spectrometer on Dawn found something unexpected on Ceres's surface. Its presence suggested that Ceres might have formed farther from the Sun, or been impacted by objects from a more-distant part of the solar system. What was this finding?

1. The fact that Ceres is covered with small dark particles  that appear identical to the composition of Uranus's rings.

2. The presence of a thick cloud layer made of sulfuric acid, similar to what is observed at Venus.

3. The presence of clay-like minerals with ammonia bound up in them.

4. The infrared spectrum of Ceres's surface is essentially identical to that of most objects in the Kuiper Belt.

Answer: 3. The presence of clay-like minerals with ammonia bound up in them.

Explanation: The discovery of ammonia clay-like minerals in Ceres is surprising because it would be encoutered in planets that are far from the Sun, since ammonia requires colder temperatures, which is found beyond Jupiter's orbit, to condense. This finding can ascertain not only the origins of the dwarf planet as how the solar system was formed, were organized and evolved, because understanding where smaller planets are formed is important to determine their destiny.

Which of these statements are true about scientific theories and laws?
anygoal [31]
<span>The best response would be that theories are not opinions. While laws and theories are similar, laws tend to be a collection of theories about the same phenomenon. Laws can be expressed as math formulae, but more often they're in the form of "if-then" statements. Laws and theories both have to be rigorously tested before they reach these classiffications.</span>
