(B) "initially overwhelmed by the information being presented"
In the 2nd paragraph, "stunning facts" that demonstrated the size of the cosmos "rolled past" the narrator's mind, creating a confusing web of data. The flood of ideas seems to be something that the narrator's mind ducks and shrinks from. The narrator can only automatically record information if the facts are less abstract and more familiar.
The answer is not (A). Line 34 makes mention of the narrator's "dodging and shrinking mind." The youngsters who are alluded to in line 6 are unlikely to be to blame for the narrator's mental condition 30 lines later. The answer is not (C). The narrator acknowledges that the intricacy of the astronomical data is "troubling." The answer is not (D). The chapter never makes any mention of "space travel".
The answer is not (E). Nothing in the text shows that the narrator's "dodging and shrinking mind" is connected to any scepticism about the veracity of the performance, despite the narrator acknowledging in lines 44–45 that "confident" scientific information is frequently altered.
