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 here — can you paste it (or tell me your answer to it)?

If that’s not possible, here’s what each choice would best support so you can match it to Question 5:

- A supports a point about removing societal/gender barriers to scientific discovery or arguing that excluding people hurts progress.
- B supports a point that Shree impressed Dr. Basu with her enthusiasm and earned a lab position because of her energy and passion.
- C supports a point that Shree’s motivation came from seeing her grandfather’s suffering and wanting to fight diseases like cancer.
- D supports a point that Shree created a solution to show students that engineering can be fun (her problem-solving/mentoring initiative).

Tell me Q5 (or which answer you picked) and I’ll pick the single best passage.
