Question

01
select the most precise words to complete the following sentences:
in the field of astronomy, select... into the cosmos with select...
telescopes, scrutinizing astronomers and unraveling the mysteries of the universe. scientists employ
instruments to measure di people light on the vastness of the cosmos.
scientists

Explanation:

1. The first blank refers to professionals in astronomy, so "astronomers" is the precise term, as it specifically describes people who study astronomy, unlike the general terms "people" or "scientists".
2. The second blank needs a verb that fits the context of exploring the cosmos with telescopes; the logical precise action is "peering" (implied by the context of scrutinizing and observing the cosmos).
3. The third blank pairs with "light on" to mean revealing information, so the phrase "shed light on" is the standard, precise collocation for uncovering or explaining something about the cosmos.

Answer:

1. astronomers
2. peering
3. shed
