Question

Which change makes Dr. Jordan's situation more plausible in the following scenario?

Dr. Jordan, a bioengineer, dedicated her life's research to finding a way to create edible plants that are not susceptible to fungal diseases
or other problems that make the plant die before its fruit reaches maturity. After receiving funding from the government, Dr. Jordan
developed a new type of seedling that is resistant to major fungal growths.

Answer 1

change "the government" to "a privatized bioengineering company"

Step-by-step explanation:

Changing the statement that Dr. Jordan received funding from the government to the statement that she received funding from a privatized bioengineering company, would make her story more plausible. This is because as a Bioengineer in the same field, it is easy for her efforts to be recognized by the Bioengineering company who also shares similar goals and objectives with her.

This does not rule out the fact that it is impossible for her to have received funding from the government. But the story would be more plausible if the funding came from a privatized bioengineering company for the above-stated reason.
