Answer 1

The answer should be A for 1st one and D for the 2nd one

Step-by-step explanation:

q1) Why does the author begin the article with a description of Marie’s activities during World War I

We know this by process of elimination, b cannot be true, as Marie Curie was already researching before WW1

c cannot either because there is no mention of her family

d cannot because it does not correspond with the question, so it has to be A

q2) If the 1st answer was A, in the 2nd question the other answers all do not make sense as they do not support the answer but only D supports the answer above.
