read the passage.

excerpt from "marie curie and the discovery of radioactivity" by mara rockliff

the energy appeared to come from inside the metal itself, deep down at the level of its atoms. marie curie named this atomic energy radioactivity. a substance that emitted this energy was called radioactive.

her experiments yielded a second surprise. a sample of uranium-rich pitchblende turned out to be three or four times as radioactive as pure uranium. how could this be? marie had already tested every known element of pitchblende. none was radioactive. but something in that pitchblende, something besides the uranium, was sending out rays.

it could be inferred that the word emitted in the first paragraph means "released."

which context clue best confirm this meaning of the word emitted?
a. "three or four times as radioactive"

b. "sending out rays"

c. "deep down at the level of its atoms"

d. "turned out to be"

Which is the best paraphrase of the text? the capability of a bicycle makes some people want to go very fast and others to go very slow. as long as you are careful, feel free to ride like the wind. when feeling brave on a bicycle you should ride fast, but when feeling afraid riding slow is wise. if you are unable to coast, it is pointless to even ride. if you’re going to ride a bicycle, you should throw caution to the wind and take over the road, swerving where you like and taking full advantage of your ride. it’s a real joy to be able to ride a bicycle, where you have the choice of going as fast or as slow as you like, using as much courage as you feel like using.
