B?
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
I don't think it is correct.

Why?
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
\(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm that~was~launched~last~April }\) is an adjective clause.
It will seem like, if you read the sentence carefully, that it is saying that the \(\normalsize\color{red}{ \rm moon }\) launched.

ohhh
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
but that is wrong, because the \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm satelline }\) is launched, not the moon
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
It should be;
The satellite \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm that~was~launched~last~April }\) has taken many great pictures of our moon that was launched last April.
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
makes sense?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

Good; yw!

It is b, because the last part of the sentence, should be the first information, in the sentence.
