Question

Which of these is an example of how engineers have affected society?

A.Our general understanding of how cancer cells grow and spread
B.The use of piers and beams to build a strong foundation for a house
C.Our general understanding of the reaction process involved in galvanic corrosion D.Medical professionals' advanced understanding of pharmaceuticals

Answer 1

You can eliminate A, C, and D almost instantly if you know that engineers are construction workers. The answer is B.

Answer 2

B.The use of piers and beams to build a strong foundation for a house

Step-by-step explanation:

Foundation engineering falls under geotechnical engineering which uses both soil and rock mechanics to design the foundation structure of any building so as to avoid overloading of the soil. Foundation engineering is important to ensure stability and prevent lateral movement of the building.

Cancer research is done by cell biologist. Medical professionals help to cure sick people. Chemists study galvanic corrosion.
