Until recently many astronomers believed that asteroids travel about the solar system (i)_____satellites. These astronomers assumed this because they considered asteroid-satellite systems inherently (ii)_____. Theoreticians could have told them otherwise: even minuscule bodies in the solar system can theoretically have satellites, as long as everything is in proper scale. If a bowling ball were orbiting about the Sun in the asteroid belt, it could have a pebble orbiting it as far away as a few hundred radii (or about 50 meters) (iii)_____the pebble to the Sun's gravitational pull.

Hi There!
Solution:
1. Until recently many x believed that asteroids travel about the solar system _with/Without____satellites.
2. For the second blank, it was easier to find an answer using the option, although this is not a correct method. scathing and soporific(Sleep producing) are both out of context unstable is the correct choice.
So after filling this much, I know the astronomers thought asteroid-satellite systems inherently unstable, so this means they do not require satellite to travel around the solar system. Thus, without. Hence the first blank should be unaccompanied by.
3. Similarly, in the third blank before reaping and by adding are out of context. Thus, Without losing fits the bill
Hope this helps!
