Reading the passage

This title should express the same main point we already predicted. We're looking for neutrinos as a possible partial answer to the dark matter problem, not just a title about gravity or one experiment.

Working the answers

  • A

    We don't get a balanced set of arguments for and against dark matter's existence. The focus is a candidate for some of that matter.

  • B
    Correct

    Neutrinos, dark matter, and a partial solution: this includes all three pieces. The question mark also fits the tentative finding and the condition that the evidence hold up.

  • C

    This says neutrinos do not constitute dark matter. The new evidence instead makes them a plausible contributor, even though they can't account for all of it.

  • D

    Gravity provides the background problem, but this title loses neutrinos and the research that makes them relevant.

  • E

    Oscillation and neutrino mass are important parts of the explanation. This title stops there, leaving out the larger question of what that mass could explain.
