F      Three of today’s largest telescopes—Gemini North, Subaru, and Keck—stand within hailing distance of one another atop the nearly 14,000-foot peak of Hawaii’s Mauna Kea, an inactive volcano. The altitude puts them above 40 percent of Earth’s atmosphere and most of its water vapor, which hinders infrared wavelengths— that astronomers like to study—from passing through.  What does which refer to in Paragraph F?

Subaru H     The Subaru telescope’s instruments are housed in alcoves. When a particular instrument is required, a robotic yellow trolley makes its way to the alcove, picks up the detector, ferries it to the bottom of the massive telescope, and locks it in place, attaching the data cables and the plumbing for the detector’s refrigeration system. Subaru happens to be one of the few giant telescopes that anybody has ever actually looked through. For its inauguration in 1999, an eyepiece was attached so that Princess Sayako of Japan could have a look through the scope, and for several nights thereafter eager Subaru staffers did the same. “Everything you can see in the Hubble Space Telescope photos—the colors, the knots in the clouds—I could see with my own eyes, in stunning Technicolor,” one recalled. Choose the best answer.What can the reader infer about the Subaru telescope from Paragraph H?
