Which line in the passage uses a synonym as a context clue to explain the meaning of the word exploration?

Artificial Satellites

A satellite is an object in space that rotates around a bigger object. For example, the moon is Earth’s satellite. The moon, however, is a natural satellite. The ones we send from Earth into space are called artificial satellites. Sputnik, sent by the Soviet Union, was the first artificial satellite to go into space. Since then, we have sent several satellites into space for various exploration purposes. Some satellites help by investigating faraway objects that may be heading toward Earth. Others help to study the weather conditions of Earth. They also observe the sun and other stars and planets in space.

in which scenario might one be asked to take minute meetings?

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
