Read the passage to answer questions 5-6

The vast multitude of stars are wandering about in space. A few form
groups which journey in company, but the majority are solitary travelers.
And they travel through a universe so spacious that it is an event of almost
unimaginable rarity for a star to come anywhere near to another star. For
the most part each voyages in splendid isolation, like a ship on an empty
ocean. In a scale model in which the stars are ships, the average ship will
be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor, whence it is easy to
understand why a ship seldom finds another within hailing distance.

C.
D.
