Read the excerpt below. Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the excerpt? Gertrude Belle Elion was born on Jan. 23, 1918, in New York City. She graduated from Hunter College in New York City with a degree in biochemistry in 1937. Unable to obtain a graduate research position because she was a woman, she took a series of jobs, including lab assistant, chemistry and physics teacher in New York City high schools, and research chemist. During this time she also took classes at New York University, where she earned a master's degree in 1941. Because she could not devote herself to full-time studies, Elion never received a doctorate.

Answer :

Astute
Hello there,

I believe that your correct answer would be "This sentence shows Elion's determination and commitment to learn."

The reason why I say this is because Elion  wanted to be a "biochemistry". But she could not because of her requirement's are not that great. She took many classes and so on and still could not qualify.She needed to learn to have determination.

Hope this helps.
