Question

5,500 kilometers, but most are less than 1,500 kilometers in diameter. smaller moons are often irregular in shape, while larger moons are roughly spherical. moons are usually made of rock and metal, but many also contain ice. they can have craters and volcanoes on their surface, and some may have liquid water beneath their surface. some of the largest moons even have atmospheres! select the true statements about moons in the solar system. all planets have at least one moon. some moons have craters and volcanoes on their surface. moons are usually composed of rock, metal, and ice. most moons are less than 1,500 kilometers in diameter.

Explanation:

• For "All planets have at least one moon": Planets like Mercury and Venus have no moons, so this is false.
• For "Some moons have craters and volcanoes on their surface": The text states "They can have craters and volcanoes on their surface", so this is true.
• For "Moons are usually composed of rock, metal, and ice": The text says "Moons are usually made of rock and metal, but many also contain ice" (not all usually have ice, so the statement implies a usual composition including ice which is not accurate as "many" have ice, not "usually" in the sense of the statement). So this is false.
• For "Most moons are less than 1,500 kilometers in diameter": The text says "most are less than 1,500 kilometers in diameter", so this is true.

So the true statements are "Some moons have craters and volcanoes on their surface" and "Most moons are less than 1,500 kilometers in diameter".

Answer:

B. Some moons have craters and volcanoes on their surface, D. Most moons are less than 1,500 kilometers in diameter
