    1. The document provides instructions for an assessment task involving multiple choice questions about astrophysics topics like what occurs in stars, the composition of the universe, and nuclear reactions. 2. It also includes open-ended questions to be answered about nuclear reactions involved in the formation of deuterium and light elements shortly after the Big Bang. 3. Additionally, it provides nuclear reaction equations to balance involving the formation of heavier elements through stellar nucleosynthesis after the formation of first-generation stars.
