Question

The phrase ‘it would take nearly forty years for the world to recognize her belief’ mainly suggests that:

• B. Karikó abandoned her idea temporarily
• C. the research was scientifically flawed
• D. technology was unavailable until recently

Answer 1

Answer:

A. her work was ignored for a long period

• The phrase suggests that although Karikó believed strongly in her idea, it took nearly forty years before it was acknowledged and appreciated by the world.

• This implies long-term lack of recognition rather than a problem with technology or flaws in the research.
