Question

Annie has been designing a new pool filter for pools of over 5,000 gallons. The prototype she designed works well, but only on pools of less than 3,000 gallons. Which statement explains why Annie is not frustrated?

A. Engineers still need to design filters for smaller pools; this prototype can be distributed to other clients.
B. Engineers work in a cyclical process; she can just begin a totally new project.
C. Engineers can always take an existing idea and expand on it.
D. Engineers will not allow failures to stop them; a previous failure can be a practical solution for a new problem.

Answer 1

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

C. Engineers can always take an existing idea and expand on it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Engineers are problem solvers. When they identify a challenge, they design solutions and test the ideas using a prototype. When the prototype performs the desired output, they go ahead to implement a full design. This is to say, they take the existing idea that works in certain parameters and expand it to fit the intended solution.

Answer choices A,B, and D are true but not correct because the issue of frustration is not indicated. They are true because they explain the general form of working of engineers which is: continuing designing everyday to solve new problems, the work done by engineers has stages and processes and finally because engineers seek to give solutions, failure is not failing but a new problem that needs a new idea as a solution.
