The author agrees Pluto should be excluded from the list of planets.
Correct Answer:
True
Explanation:
Determining the author's stance on Pluto’s planetary status. If the passage treats Pluto as not meeting the criteria for a planet—for example, describing it as a dwarf planet or noting it hasn’t cleared its orbit—then the author is aligning with excluding Pluto from the list of planets. That makes the statement true because it reflects agreement with that exclusion. If the text never mentions Pluto’s status, you wouldn’t be able to conclude agreement (not stated). If the author argues Pluto should remain a planet, that would contradict the conclusion. If the author hints at Pluto needing a separate category, that would be some other.
