Zoie Shaffer · Answer 1

The correct answers are:

A: Eventually

Eventually means "in the course of time." So after a long period of time, the plasma reduced its temperature and atoms were created.

B: Then

In this case, the meaning of then is "consequently." Atoms appeared, so the first stars and galaxies formed.

C: However

However introduces a contrast to what has been said previously. Even though scientists know about how atoms formed, they do know how the first stars and galaxies originated.
