Answer:

The scientist's interpretation of the research results was efficient and timely.

Step-by-step explanation:

efficient means doing the same amount of work in less time or doing more work in the same time.

Going to a store a second time is not efficient.

Leaving lights on is not energy efficient.

Papers all over the desk (seems like me) is not efficient because you can't find things.

So it's the scientist one.
