Practice one SAT question at a time

Questions come from the Bluebook question bank.

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • Stars form in a galaxy when gravity causes a massive cloud of dust and gas to collapse.
  • A galaxy in a phase of rapid star formation is called a starburst galaxy.
  • Quenching is a process in which a galaxy loses star-forming gas.
  • A galaxy that no longer forms stars is called a quenched galaxy.
  • A quenched galaxy has entered the poststarburst phase.

The student wants to explain what a quenched galaxy is. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
