how much interest will you have to pay on the loan you took out for your new car?

Explanation:

To determine which text uses "interest" as "attention or concern", we analyze each option:

• The first sentence: "Lorenzo doesn't show much interest in astronomy..." uses "interest" to mean Lorenzo's attention/concern for astronomy.
• The second sentence: "How much interest will you have to pay..." uses "interest" in the financial sense (money charged on a loan).

So the first text matches the given meaning.

Answer:

Lorenzo doesn't show much interest in astronomy, but Elena spends hours looking through her telescope in the backyard.
