Question

hich 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 — can you paste the question (and your answer)? I’ll pick the best supporting passage.

If that’s faster, here’s a quick guide you can use now:
- If Question 5’s answer was that Shree was motivated to fight disease (her purpose), choose C.
- If the answer was that societal/gender barriers hold back discovery, choose A.
- If the answer was that Dr. Basu hired Shree because of her enthusiasm, choose B.
- If the answer was that Shree created a solution to show students engineering could be fun, choose D.
