Explanation:

Question 1

The text mentions Naomi and her father loved Carl Sagan, and Naomi was into space camp (learning about stars, planets, astronauts, space tech). Carl Sagan's work is related to space (implied by the "star stuff" quote and Naomi's space interests aligning with his influence). Options A (camps), B (family events), C (school) don't match the space - related context. So D is correct.

Naomi was feeling anxious about starting a new school, and her dad used the quote to comfort her (when she's nervous). Option A is about excitement for space (not the reason for the quote), C is about summer camp excitement (not the trigger), D is about space simulator nervousness (not mentioned). So B (nervous about starting school) is the reason for the quote.

Naomi went to space camp, learned about space topics, and hoped others would be interested in space like her. This shows she loves space camp. B (hates) and C (boring) are opposite, D (okay) is too mild. So A is correct.

Answer:

D. space
