What type of questions do physicists prefer to work with according to the passage?

  1. Complex and theoretical questions about the universe

  2. Questions that have universal phenomena and are simple

  3. Complex questions answered by advanced technology

  4. Theoretical questions based on mathematical models

The correct answer is: Questions that have universal phenomena and are simple

One reason that the other options are incorrect is because the passage states that physicists prefer to work with "simple and intuitive" questions instead of complex questions. Option A may seem correct because physicists do study complex and theoretical questions, but the passage specifically states that they prefer simpler ones. Option C is incorrect because the passage does not mention advanced technology as a factor in choosing questions to work with. Option D may also seem correct because theoretical questions are mentioned, but the passage focuses more on the conceptual and intuitive aspects of the questions, rather than the mathematical models. Therefore, option B is the best answer as it aligns with the passage's emphasis on simplicity and universality.
