A. Read the following text and tell if the sentences are true or false.
The sun will continue to be the way it is until it enters its red giant phase. This will be probably in four
or five billion years. Then its core will become smaller and hotter until it finally finishes burning the
fuel in its nuclear core. When this happens, the core will become so dense that the helium fusion will
begin. When the helium atoms collide, they will form carbon (from 3 helium atoms) and oxygen (from
4 helium atoms). When this process begins, the sun will produce huge amounts of energy. The sun will
become as larger as this energy will increase. It will be more than a hundred times its present size by
the time it stops growing. That is why the term red giant is used. As the sun expands, it is possible that
it will absorb the Earth. When the sun uses up all its energy, it will become a small white star, and it
will not be able to produce more energy. After a billion years, when it is completely cool, it will be just
a cold dark object.
