contain generalizations and contractions.
C
show a connection between ideas.
D
show the author’s attitude toward the topic.

Explanation

The sentences use contractions such as “couldn’t” and “they’re,” which are usually avoided in formal argumentative writing. They also make broad, unsupported claims about traveling to “all the stars” and how long it would take. These generalizations should be made more precise and supported with evidence, so choice B is correct.
