Question

Question 4(multiple choice worth 5 points) Gertrude Belle Elion was born on Jan. 23, 1918, in New York City. She graduated from Hunter College in New York City with a degree in biochemistry in 1937. Unable to obtain a graduate research position because she was a woman, she took a series of jobs, including lab assistant, chemistry and physics teacher in New York City high schools, and research chemist. During this time she also took classes at New York university, where she earned a masters degree in 1941. Because she could not devote herself to full-time studies, Elion never received a doctorate. How does the author organize information in this article to create a clear main idea? 1. Chronologically 2. Interviews and research 3. Cause and effect 4. Problem-solution

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Chronologically.

Why?
In the information, it can be declared that the author wrote the information in chronological order because it coincided with the birth of Gertrude Belle Elion in 1918, later referring to the title in biochemistry that she obtained in 1937. Then the multiple works that she carried out, she was studying to get the master's degree in 1941. It also has three dates that are ascending, so it can be said that the writing is chronological. So A is the correct answer.
