Physicist seek out those features of nature that are simple and Universal. The Secret of their success is not so much a matter of finding answers as it is asking the right questions. The trick is keeping the question simple and sticking to universal phenomena. Simple questions can be answered unambiguously by careful observation of repeated experiments and biological thinking.

Which of the following questions is most clearly an example of the kind discussed in the paragraph?

An allergy is a hypersensitivity to substances that are essentially harmless. For as yet poorly understood reasons, the immune system malfunctions and marshals up an army of antibodies to fight these substances. For many allergies, this malfunction causes a large amount of histamine to flood into the bloodstream. It is overabundance of histamine that causes allergic symptoms such as headaches, rashes, and sneezing.

Weather radar is a great help to pilots in detecting thunderstorms. However, pilots must be aware that radar does not reliably detect hail Radar operates by transmitting a pulse of radio energy and receiving the pulse again after it is reflected by a target. Large raindrops, the kind found in intense thunderstorms, are the best radar reflectors and will show up as intense targets on the screen. Hail is somewhat porous and has an uneven structure; it tends to absorb or scatter the radar pulse rather than reflect it back to the antenna.

According to the paragraph, weather radar does not reliably detect hail because of

An analysis of the mandatory oil quota program show that separate quotas were established for crude oil and for petroleum products.
