Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

1. Recollapsing universe: the density of the universe is greater than critical. Gravity will eventually reverse the expansion, resulting in a Big Crunch.
2. Critical universe: the density of the universe is equal to the critical density. Gravity just balances the expansion which slows increasingly down toward zero as time progresses.
3. Coasting universe: the density of the universe is less than the critical density. The expansion overwhelms the attractive force of gravity and the universe expands without limit.
4. Accelerating universe: a mysterious repulsive force that acts against gravity on large scales causes the universe to expand with ever-increasing speed.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
