19)The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is projected to maintain operation until at least 2030, but it has already revolutionized high-resolution imaging of solar-system bodies in visible and ultraviolet (UV) light wavelengths, notwithstanding that only about 6% of the bodies imaged by the HST are within the solar system. NASA researcher Cindy L. Young and colleagues assert that a new space telescope dedicated exclusively to solar-system observations would permit an extensive survey of minor solar-system bodies and long-term UV observation to discern how solar-system bodies change over time. Young and colleagues' recommendation therefore implies that the HST ______ Which choice most logically completes the text?IFRPRAEN-019will likely continue to be used primarily to observe objects outside the solar system.will no longer be used to observe solar system objects if the telescope recommended by Young and colleagues is deployed.can be modified to observe the features of solar system objects that are of interest to Young and colleagues.lacks the sensors to observe the wavelengths of light needed to discern how solar system bodies change over time.
