The Question At Hand
The question covered in this episode asks you to complete an example of a stated correlation between types of cosmic dust and ablation rates. Specifically, the example is supposed to support the claim that material in faster-moving dust has higher ablation rates than material in slower-moving dust.
The question features a table that gives the ablation rates of various materials in the different types of dust. However, we don’t need to get too caught up in comparing these ablation rates. As Dave explains, we can easily eliminate three answer choices simply by focusing on the parameters of the claim we’re tasked with supporting.
