Synthesizing Ideas in an Informational Text

Question 2 • EF English 12 - 1st 9 Weeks (New)

What does the time line of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest about its development process?

Answer

The development of the JWST was delayed primarily by construction of its sunshield and mirrors.

The JWST required extensive planning, collaboration, and testing over several decades before launch.

The primary reason for the long development period was difficulty selecting a launch site and rocket.

Most of the JWST’s development occurred within a decade of its launch.

Explanation

The JWST timeline spans several decades, from early planning and design through construction, collaboration among organizations, and extensive testing before its 2021 launch. This supports the idea that its development required sustained planning, teamwork, and testing. The timeline does not suggest that one component or the choice of launch site and rocket was the primary cause of the long process.
