Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

The upper end in the main sequence of the H-R diagram shows that even if an extremely massive star does begin to form, stellar models reveal that such massive stars are unstable. To support the tremendous weight in such stars, the internal gas must be very hot, and that means it must emit floods of radiation that flow outward through the star. The resulting pressure of the radiation blows gas away from the star's surface in powerful stellar winds. The models indicate, for example, that a 60-solar- mass star sheds mass so rapidly that it can be reduced to less than 30 solar masses in only a million years.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
