Which detail should be left out of a summary of the

excerpt?
Read the excerpt from A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole by
Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano
Most of the time gravity seems to work the way Newton
described it Newton's rules explain a lot from falling
apples to most planets' orbits. But his laws don't work
perfectly. In high-gravity zones Newton's ideas dont jibe
with what scientists observe. For example, Mercury's orbit
-up close to the Sun-has a blip in it that Newton's laws
cant explain
O Newton's rules explain a lot, but they do not work in
high-gravity zones
Einstein's ideas about curving space help explain gaps
in Newton's laws
O Both Newton's and Einstein's ideas can work in
different circumstances.
O Newton's and Einstein's ideas are like the word 'red in
English or Spanish
Glitches like this one were the reason Einstein worked so
hard at coming up with a new explanation. He wanted to
account for everything. His ideas about curving space
may sound bizarre, but they work! They took care of the
gaps in Newton's theory and explained Mercury's orbit.
They led scientists to predict shifting starlight and black
holes. All of this is powerful evidence that Einstein was on
to something

Answer:

Newton's and Einstein's ideas are like the word 'red in

English or Spanish

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this is a minor detail, red and languages have nothing to do with black holes and science.
