Digital SAT Reading and Writing Practice Question #575

Test your problem-solving accuracy on this official-caliber item. Select an answer choice to check your reasoning instantly.

While researching space observatories, a student has taken the following notes: - The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was launched by NASA in 2021. - It is equipped with sensors designed to operate primarily in the infrared spectrum of light. - The older Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990, operates primarily in the optical and ultraviolet spectra. - Because the universe is constantly expanding, light emitted by the earliest, most distant galaxies is severely redshifted, meaning its wavelength is stretched into the infrared spectrum by the time it reaches Earth. - JWST's unique infrared capabilities allow it to detect these ancient galaxies, which are entirely invisible to Hubble. The student wants to emphasize the specific physical phenomenon that makes JWST uniquely capable of observing the early universe compared to Hubble. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
