Choose the correct answers to complete the following short passage.

We believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. At percent, we are forced to
look to other bodies in the solar system for hints as to what the early history of
the Earth was like. Studies of our moon, Mercury, Mars, and the large satellites
of Jupiter and Saturn have provided ample evidence that all these large
celestial bodies had formed. This same bombardment must have affected Earth
as well. The lunar record indicates that the rate of impacts decreased to its
present low level about 4 billion years ago. On Earth, subsequent erosion and
crustal motions have obliterated the craters that must have formed during this
epoch.

Scientists estimate the Earth’s age by measuring the ratios of various

radioactive elements in rocks. The oldest Earth’s rocks tested thus far are about
3 1/3 billion years old. But no one knows whether these are oldest rocks on
Earth. Tests on rocks from the moon and on meteorites show that these are
about 4.6 billion years old. Scientists believe that this is the true age of the
solar system and probably the true age of the Earth.

A. 4 billion years old C. 4.6 billion years old

14. Which of the following processes led to the obliteration of the craters
formed by the bombardment of the Earth by the celestial bodies?
A. Volcanic activity C. Gravity activity
B. Solar radiation D. Crustal motions

15. According to the passage, why are scientists forced to look at other bodies
in the solar system to determine the early history of the Earth?
A. Human alteration of the Earth C. Solar flares
B. Erosion and crustal motions D. Deforestation and global warming
