Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

The elements other than hydrogen and helium exist in such small quantities that it is accurate

to say that the universe is somewhat more than 25 percent helium by weight and somewhat

less than 75 percent hydrogen.

Astronomers have measured the abundance of helium throughout our galaxy and in other

galaxies as well. Helium has been found in old stars, in relatively young ones, in interstellar

gas, and in the distant objects known as quasars. Helium nuclei have also been found to be

constituents of cosmic rays that fall on the earth (cosmic rays are not really a form of

radiation; they consist of rapidly moving particles of numerous different kinds). It doesn’t

seem to make very much difference where the helium is found. Its relative abundance never

seems to vary much. In some places, there may be slightly more of it; in others, slightly less,

but the ratio of helium to hydrogen nuclei always remains about the same.

Helium is created in stars. In fact, nuclear reactions that convert hydrogen to helium are

responsible for most of the energy that stars produce. However, the amount of helium that

could have been produced in this manner can be calculated, and it turns out to be no more

than a few percent. The universe has not existed long enough for this figure to be significant

greater. Consequently, if the universe is somewhat more than 25 percent helium now, then it

must have been about 25 percent helium at a time near the beginning.

However, when the universe was less than one minute old, no helium could have existed.

Calculations indicate that before this time temperature were too high and particles of matter

were moving around much too rapidly. It was only after the one-minute point that helium

could exist. By this time, the universe had cooled so sufficiently that neutrons and protons

could stick together. But the nuclear reactions that led to the formations of helium went on

for only relatively short time. By the time the universe was a few minutes old, helium

production had effectively ceased.
