Question

Which passage from the text best supports your answer to Question 5?


A. “‘I think any societal barriers to that pioneering spirit, whether gender or otherwise, puts the world at a disadvantage, since there are so many more discoveries waiting to be made,’ Shree says.”

B. “Although she was young and inexperienced, Shree won over Dr. Basu with her energy and passion for learning. ‘What I find most exciting is your enthusiasm,’ Shree says Dr. Basu told her. ‘And if you keep that while working in my lab, I’ll take you.’”

C. “In Kolkata, a city in eastern India, Shree sat with her grandfather, and, seeing his discomfort, realized her purpose in life: she wanted to fight vicious diseases like cancer. She wanted to play a role in relieving people’s pain.”

D. “Shree knew engineering could be interesting and fun, but she didn’t have a way to show that to the students she mentored. So, once again, after defining a problem, Shree Bose came up with a solution.”

Answer 1

I don’t have Question 5 or your answer to it. Can you paste Question 5 (and your answer) here?

If that’s not possible, here’s a quick guide linking each choice to the likely question it supports:
- A supports a point about Shree believing societal/gender barriers hold back discovery.
- B supports a point about how her enthusiasm overcame her lack of experience and won over Dr. Basu.
- C supports a point about her motivation to fight disease (inspired by her grandfather).
- D supports a point about her wanting to make engineering fun/accessible and solving that problem for students.

Tell me which of those matches your Q5 and I’ll pick the best passage.
