Explanation:

For question 7, in the context of space travel, explaining the risks to human space travelers (Option A) directly supports the idea that space travel is more suited to robots as it highlights the disadvantages of human involvement.
For question 8, using science and technology in space exploration (Option A) and understanding the benefits and objectives of space exploration (Option D) are common themes in space - related discussions. Science and technology are fundamental tools for space exploration, and understanding benefits/objectives is a basic aspect of any exploration endeavor.
For question 9, if we assume the claim is about the investment in space exploration (Option C, assuming the content of the text supports the idea that a lot of resources have been spent), it can be a common claim as both authors might be discussing the current state of space exploration which often involves resource - related aspects.

Answer:

1. A. By explaining the risks to human space travelers
2. A. Using science and technology in space exploration, D. Understanding the benefits and objectives of space exploration
3. Assuming the correct option is C (A lot of money and time has already been spent on space exploration)
