Answer:

B, On September 23, 1999, NASA officials were aghast when the $125 million Mars Climate Orbiter vanished as it prepared to enter the red planet’s orbit.

Explanation:

The use of word imagery and mystery make this a good intro sentence. MAKE SURE IT MAKES SENSE THOUGH! I can't see which sentence is supposed to come after this, so make sure it makes sense with the paragraph

What noun does the underlined participle modify?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The noun the underlined participle modifies is:

b. aspects.

Explanation:

In the sentence we are analyzing here, there is a present participle, "troubling". A present participle is formed by adding -ing to a verb stem (interesting, caring, loving, etc.). Present and past participles can function as adjectives, modifying nouns or pronouns in a sentence. That is precisely the case here, where "troubling" is modifying the noun "aspects", attributing a quality to it. For that reason, we can choose letter B as the best option.
