3 English Vocabulary • Vocabulary Directions: Read the passage given below carefully and choose the most appropriate option for the questions that follow.A decade’s worth of telescope observations of the sun has revealed a startling mystery: Gamma rays, the highest frequency waves of light, radiate from our nearest star seven times more abundantly than expected. Stranger still, despite this extreme excess of gamma rays overall, the narrow bandwidth of frequencies is curiously absent.The surplus light, the gap in the spectrum, and other surprises about the solar gamma-ray signal potentially point to unknown features of the sun’s magnetic field, or more exotic physics. The unexpected signal has emerged in data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. As more Fermi data have accrued, revealing the spectrum of gamma rays coming from the sun in ever-greater detail, the puzzles have only proliferated.Not only is the gamma-ray signal far stronger than a decades-old theory predicts; it also extends to much higher frequencies than predicted, and it inexplicably varies across the face of the sun and throughout the 11-year solar cycle. Then there’s the gap, which researchers call a “dip” - a lack of gamma rays with frequencies around 10 trillion hertz.In the passage, the word “proliferated” most nearly means: Directions: Read the passage given below carefully and choose the most appropriate option for the questions that follow.A decade’s worth of telescope observations of the sun has revealed a startling mystery: Gamma rays, the highest frequency waves of light, radiate from our nearest star seven times more abundantly than expected.
