How can a star chart and a ground-based telescope be used together to study astronomy?

• A star chart can show which constellations are near each other, and a telescope can show a closer view of a star in a constellation.

• A star chart can show the phase of the Moon each evening, and a telescope can show a closer view of the Moon’s surface.

• A star chart can predict the best time of the evening to view stars, and a telescope can show a closer view of a star blocked by a cloud.

• A star chart can predict the locations of new stars in the night sky, and a telescope can show a closer view of galaxies where the new stars are located.

The picture shows a landslide after heavy rainfall. Landslides often block mountain roads. Which idea will best prevent a road from being blocked by a landslide?

• Increase the length of the road to provide more space for vehicles.

• Remove all the plants on the mountain slope near the road to allow rainwater to flow faster.

• Construct a wall along the road to collect loose rocks.
