from The American Scholar

BRAINLIEST IF YOU ANSWER IN 5 Min Max NEED REASONING OTHERWISE ILL REPORY YOU IK THE OWNER OF BRAINLYBased on this excerpt, which conclusion is most likely
true about black holes?
Read this excerpt from "Why Are They Called Black
Holes?"
Within a circular boundary of about fifty miles from the
black hole center, gravity is so strong that massless
light cannot escape its pull. This boundary is called the
"theoretical event horizon." Imagine observing a black
hole from galaxies away. Light can be seen around the
event horizon but not within it. The universe is filled
with dim light drifting all around, but absolutely no light
can be seen inside a circular event horizon. Therefore,
the area inside is called a "black hole."
Even though there is light inside a black hole, it is
not visible.
Even though a black hole has gravity, there is
nothing inside a black hole.
A black hole can only be observed or detected at a
short distance.
A black hole only releases light that appears black
to the eyes.
