Digital SAT Reading and Writing Practice Question #795

Text 1 Cosmologists have long observed that the outer edges of galaxies rotate far faster than can be accounted for by their visible mass. The consensus explanation is "Dark Matter," hypothesized as a halo of cold, non-interacting particles (WIMPs) that surround galaxies and exert massive gravitational pull. Billions of dollars are currently invested in subterranean particle detectors hoping to finally observe a WIMP. Text 2 The Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) theory proposes an elegant alternative to the frustrating, decades-long search for invisible matter. MOND posits that our fundamental understanding of gravity is incomplete. Instead of inventing a ghostly new particle to explain galactic rotation, MOND mathematically demonstrates that gravitational force behaves differently at the extremely low accelerations found at the edges of galaxies. Based on the texts, how would the author of Text 2 most likely respond to the ongoing search for WIMPs described in Text 1?
