Make It?

Hi,

"This radiation heats the surface of the land and ocean, and these surfaces then reradiate infrared radiation back into space. This allows Earth to avoid heating up too much. However, not all of the infrared radiation makes it into space; some is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere and is reradiated back to Earth's surface."

Between the choices, I picked "is reflected" but the guide says that it is "Arrives" , the rest are obviously incorrect, and it points out that the correct choice should be picked with regard to the text and not merely literally. I know that "we're not gonna make it" eg means we won't arrive, but "here" can it be the correct answer?!

Thank you.

Yes, if you ignore the ungrammaticality of "arrive into". "Is reflected" is wrong because the text is talking about the radiation that is leaving the planet and going out into the universe.
