Science teacher: In any nation, a flourishing national scientific community is essential to a successful economy. For such a community to flourish requires that many young people become excited enough about science that they resolve to become professional scientists. Good communication between scientists and the public is necessary to spark that excitement.
The science teacher's statements provide the most support for which one of the following?
(A) If scientists communicate with the public, many young people will become excited enough about science to resolve to become professional scientists.
(B) The extent to which a national scientific community flourishes depends principally on the number of young people who become excited enough about science to resolve to become professional scientists.
(C) No nation can have a successful economy unless at some point scientists have communicated well with the public.
(D) It is essential to any nation 's economy that most of the young people in that nation who are excited about science become professional scientists.
(E) An essential component of success in any scientific endeavor is good communication between the scientists. involved in that endeavor and the public.

First thing I do is read the question:
The science teacher's statements provide the most support for which one of the following?
Okay so we're going to be DRAWING AN INFERENCE from what is stated in the paragraph.
Science teacher: In any nation, a flourishing national scientific community is essential to a successful economy. For such a community to flourish requires that many young people become excited enough about science that they resolve to become professional scientists. Good communication between scientists and the public is necessary to spark that excitement.
Okay so this paragraph is laying out a causal chain, in somewhat reverse order:
Good communication between scientists and public -----> excitement about science in young'uns so that they become scientists ------> flourishing national scientific community -------> successful economy
So the inference I can make must be something about this chain.
(A) If scientists communicate with the public, many young people will become excited enough about science to resolve to become professional scientists.
The passage specifies we need good communication (whatever 'good' means), not just communication in general.
(B) The extent to which a national scientific community flourishes depends principally on the number of young people who become excited enough about science to resolve to become professional scientists.
It doesn't indicate that this is the principal thing that a scientific community depends on.
(C) No nation can have a successful economy unless at some point scientists have communicated well with the public.
This seems really good. If we take what the passage states as truth, you can't have a successful economy without flourishing science, and you can't have a flourishing science without scientists having communicating well with the public.
(D) It is essential to any nation 's economy that most of the young people in that nation who are excited about science become professional scientists.
Nahhhhhh. Never says most young people who are excited become scientists. Just that some young people get excited about science to become scientists.
(E) An essential component of success in any scientific endeavor is good communication between the scientists involved in that endeavor and the public.
way out of scope.
Has to be C.
BIG TAKEAWAYS: Cause and effect is a big thing on the test. When you notice a sequence of causality, write it out!

The Answer is C
(A) If scientists communicate with the public, many young people will become excited enough about science to resolve to become professional scientists. It makes an error in reverse deduction. Good Communication is a necessary condition to spark excitement. It may not be sufficient in itself.
(B) The extent to which a national scientific community flourishes depends principally on the number of young people who become excited enough about science to resolve to become professional scientists.The passage doesn't state that the success is proportional to the "number of people" who become excited.
(C) No nation can have a successful economy unless at some point scientists have communicated well with the public. Correct Answer. Good Comm. between the scientists & public is a necessary condition to spark that excitement. So, it must have occurred at some point.
(D) It is essential to any nation 's economy that most of the young people in that nation who are excited about science become professional scientists. I fell for it. The keyword here is "most". The passage says "many".
(E) An essential component of success in any scientific endeavor is good communication between the scientists. involved in that endeavor and the public.Out of scope - It says "any scientific endeavor. The passage talks about a successful economy. "
