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.

Incomplete question. The full question reads;

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

change "the government" to "a private bioengineering firm"

Explanation:

Remember, the term 'plausible' could also mean believable. Hence, by changing the statement to Dr. Jordan received funding from a private bioengineering firm.

Hence, it is more plausible or believable that the work of Dr. Jordan would be recognized by a private bioengineering firm than by the government because in most cases this type of funding is made available by a bioengineering firm.

hello!

according to the passage the most suitable options are two. the first one is "by leading the aef to victory in several key battles" like the battle of saint- mihiel and the battle of cantigny mentioned in the passage you copied here. the second one is "by the aef and allied forces defeat germany" since the passage says that his army destroy the german resistance in the meuse- argonne offensive. and also, "by insisting that the aef operate as an independent force".

hope this
