The explosion of a star is an awesome event. The most violent of these cataclysms, which produce supernovae, probably destroys a star completely.

Much smaller explosions, however, occur quite frequently, giving rise to what astronomers call novae and dwarf novae. On the order of 25 novae occur in our galaxy every year, but only two or three are near enough to be observed. About 100 dwarf novae are known altogether. If the exploding star is in a nearby part of the galaxy, it may create a “new star” that was not previously visible to the naked eye. The last new star of this sort that could be observed clearly from the Northern Hemisphere appeared in 1946. In these smaller explosions the star loses only a minute fraction of its mass and survives to explode again. Astrophysicists are fairly well satisfied that they can account for the explosions of supernovae. The novae and dwarf novae have presented more of a puzzle. From recent investigations that have provided important new information about these two classes of exploding star, the picture that emerges is quite astonishing. It appears that every dwarf nova – and perhaps every nova – is a member of a pair of stars. The two stars are so close together that they revolve around a point that lies barely outside the surface of the larger star. As a result the period of rotation is usually only a few hours, and their velocities range upward to within a two-hundredth of the speed of light.

A.the star survive to explode again

6. The statement, "velocities range upward to within a two-hundredth of the speed of light" is for
E. pair of stars

7. The period of rotation of the pair of stars is usually only a few hours, because

May I know what are you talking about and would you like to tell whcih questions I should work on? I do follow the questions which are told in syllabi: Grammar usage, comprehension and vocab. I don't think that I lead astray anyone by any question and I am not derailing the train of screening test. Your suggestions will be appreciated
