Explanation:

For the second question, the main idea of the text is about the period when the Deep Space Network can't gather data due to solar conjunction. The other options are either details or incorrect statements (solar conjunction is not a once - in - a - lifetime event).

Answer:

First question: One Mars year is about 1.9 Earth years.
Second question: There is a period of time when the Deep Space Network won't be gathering data.
