Step-by-step explanation:

In the passage of "A Black Hole is NOT a Hole" by Carolyn Cinamo DeCristofano, the author discusses invisibility, more specifically the fact that invisibility occurs due to different reasons. She then provides two examples to illustrate some of those different reasons. First, she mentions that things which are too small, such as atoms, cannot be seen by us. Then, she mentions that things which are poorly lit, such as a black cat on a dark night, also cannot be seen. Her purpose with those examples is to, by means of description, have readers understand that there is more to invisibility than we might initially think.
