Question

Read the author’s claim from paragraph 4.

We have been taught that science was traditionally the domain of men, and we
sometimes have a hard time naming female scientists. But the truth is that women
have always been involved in science.
Which statement correctly evaluates the author’s claim?


A The author supports the claim with sufficient evidence about authentic female scientists.
B The author supports the claim with sufficient evidence about historical data on male scientists.
C The author supports the claim with insufficient evidence about scientific award recipients.
D The author supports the claim with insufficient evidence about a gendered impact on science.

Answer 1

The statement "The author supports the claim with sufficient evidence about authentic female scientists" correctly evaluates the author's claim from paragraph 4. The author provides evidence that women have always been involved in science and challenges the idea that science has traditionally been a male-dominated field. While the evidence provided may not be exhaustive, it is sufficient to support the author's claim that women have made significant contributions to science throughout history.
