read this passage from "suited for spacewalking," a nasa puication. what is true about the main idea of the paragraph?

when designing spacesuits, it is important to account for the temperature range of the environment for which the suit is intended. heating and cooling systems inside a suit can moderate temperatures, but electric power to operate these systems limits the length of time the suit can be used before recharging. one way to reduce dependency of a spacesuit heating/cooling systems is to use materials for suit construction that have desirable thermal properties. if, for example, a suit is operated in a very cold environment, good insulating material will reduce the need for internal suit heating.

a - the main idea is implied - heating a cooking systems in spacesuits use too much electricity

b - the main idea is implied - nasa needs to develop a way to regulate temperature in space.

c - the main idea is stated - a suit needs to be designed for temperature range it will be used in

d - the main idea is stated: spacesuits are worn in cold environments and need to be insulated

The answer is A) The Main Idea is implied - Heating a cooking systems in spacesuits use too much electricity

The text says"Heating and cooling systems inside a suit can moderate temperatures, but electric power to operate these systems limits the length of time the suit can be used before recharging. One way to reduce dependency of a spacesuit heating/cooling systems is to use materials for suit construction that have desirable thermal properties" so the energy depending on the heating/cooling systems inside the suit make the project and the design of it more difficult

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
