Question

multiple choice 4 points
jupiter, one of the nine planets in our solar system, is called the giant among the planets. it has a diameter ten times as big as the earth and twelve moons! many scientists believe that jupiter is composed of a gas, unlike the rock that makes up the earth and the moon. the truth in this hypothesis must await further exploration. scientists do know that jupiter’s rotation period is approximately ten hours, and its revolution period is about twelve years. this means that jupiter spins very rapidly on its axis, as it makes its orbit around the sun. the atmosphere surrounding this planet is probably made up mainly of ammonia and methane, and its temperature is substantially below zero. since it has no water or oxygen and possesses extremely low temperatures, it is unlikely that it can support life. this giant among planets is not a friendly place for humans.

Explanation:

The text provides details about Jupiter's composition, size, rotation, revolution, atmosphere, temperature, and why it can't support human life. This is a descriptive account of Jupiter, so the "description" option fits.

Answer:

description (the option with the description label, as per the multiple - choice setup in the image)
