Which two quotations contain information that should be included in a summary of the text?
"More than 500,000 pieces of debris, are tracked as they orbit the Earth. They all travel at speeds
up to 17,500 mph fast enough for a relatively small piece of orbital debris to damage a satellite or a
spacecraft" (paragraph 1)
"There are more than 20,000 pieces of debris larger than a softball orbiting the Earth. There are
500,000 pieces of debris the size of a marble or larger." (paragraph 6)
"NASA and the DoD cooperate and share responsibilities for characterizing the satellite (including
orbital debris) environment." (paragraph 14)
"NASA has a set of long-standing guidelines that are used to assess whether the threat of such a
close pass is sufficient to warrant evasive action or other precautions to ensure the safety of the
crew." (paragraph 16)
"These guidelines essentially draw an imaginary box, known as the 'pizza box' because of its flat,
rectangular shape, around the space vehicle." (paragraph 17)

The two quotations that contain information that should be included in a summary of the text are:

  • "More than 500,000 pieces of debris, are tracked as they orbit the Earth. They all travel at speeds  up to 17,500 mph fast enough for a relatively small piece of orbital debris to damage a satellite or a  spacecraft" (paragraph 1)
  • "NASA has a set of long-standing guidelines that are used to assess whether the threat of such a  close pass is sufficient to warrant evasive action or other precautions to ensure the safety of the  crew." (paragraph 16)

Two vital points that are made in this text, "Space Debris and Human Aircraft" are that there exists debris in outer space that is capable of causing damage to the aircraft used to travel to space.

Paragraph 1 captures that point because it mentions the number of debris and the speed at which they travel. Paragraph 16 contains another vital point that can be contained in a summary.

The point is that NASA has guidelines to ensure that these pieces of debris do not cause damage. So, paragraphs 1 and 16 can be included in a summary of the text.
