Read the third paragraph from the passage.
A common misunderstanding among Americans is about the amount of money NASA receives from the U. s.
government. NASA'S budget has accounted for 0.5 percent of the total U. S. federal budget. That amounts to roughly $10
of an annual personal income tax going toward the best space program in the world. NASA accounts for 40 times le55
than what the federal government spends on the Department of Defense. Unfortunately, programs such as Project
Constellation, which promised to return American astronauts to the moon, and ExoMars, which was designed to look for
evidence of life on Mars and eventually land humans on Mars, have been put on hold due to budget cuts.
The author uses this paragraph to develop which two claims?
Project Constellation and ExoMars have been deferred due to a shortage of funds.
The amount of money spent on NASA iS much less than the amount of money
spent on the Department of Defense.
The U. S. Department of Defense is the strongest in the world, as it uses the funds
that should actually be used by NASA.
Collaboration with Russia to build the International Space Statlon resulted in the
depletion of funds.
All the nations should come together in order to help NASA raise the necessary
funds.
The majority of the federal budget should be spent on NASA, as its work is more
important than the Department of Defense.

free points are committed here! first to answer by writing this question and post is as an answer gets brainliest and everybody gets 30 !

when connie willis was 12 years old, her mother died. in january of 2003, willis was interviewed for locus magazine. she recognized that death is a major issue in her writing, specially because the vacuous and appalling things that people tend to say in order to support you when someone you loved dies. what really saved willis was reading. books, literature, are not false. poetry tells the truth (as dickinson said: "tell al the truth but tell it slant"). it's not a escape from reality, but a nigromantic experience where whe can talk to people that exist no more. that's the definition that connie willis gives in her novel "passage": «(literature) it's the people who went before us, tapping out messages from the past, from beyond the grave, trying to tell us about life and death! ». enrique vila-matas has figured out the esence of literary experience when he said in a lecture that he intends to have his revenge against life (and death), because to write (and to read) is a form of living and a way to remember. i like in that sense the idea of not leting anything human to get lost. i feel fiction and poetry as the shapes of an ancient anger. like in the poem from dylan thomas: «do not go gentle into that good night / rage, rage against the dying of the light».

but there is another aspect that i have learned from connie willis's quote. in his famous work "danubio", the italian writer claudio magris describes literature as house removals. some messages reach us, other messages get lost in the labyrinth. those messages which are our inheritance teach us how to live and how to die, how to love and how to hate, how to laugh and how to cry. i think that tales really shape us if we listen to them. maybe through the stories we read we learn how to emphatize with others, knowing that the bells tolls for every each of us.
