Question

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow

Marie Curie was one of the most accomplished scientists in history. Together with her
husband, Pierre, she discovered radium, an element widely used for treating cancer, and
studied uranium and other radioactive substances. Pierre and Marie’s amicable collaboration
later helped to unlock the secrets of the atom.
Marie was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, where her father was a professor of
physics. At an early age, she displayed a brilliant mind and a blithe personality. Her great
exuberance for learning prompted her to continue with her studies after high school. She
became disgruntled, however, when she learned that the university in Warsaw was closed to
women. Determined to receive a higher education, she defiantly left Poland and in 1891
entered the Sorbonne, a French university, where she earned her master’s degree and
doctorate in physics.
Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne with some of the greatest
scientists of her day, one of whom was Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre were married in 1895 and spent many productive years working together in the physics laboratory. A short time
after they discovered radium, Pierre was killed by a horse-drawn wagon in 1906. Marie was
stunned by this horrible misfortune and endured heart-breaking anguish. Despondently she
recalled their close relationship and the joy that they had shared in scientific research. The
fact that she had two young daughters to raise by herself greatly increased her distress.
Curie’s feeling of desolation finally began to fade when she was asked to succeed her
husband as a physics professor at the Sorbonne. She was the first woman to be given a
professorship at the world-famous university. In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in
chemistry for isolating radium. Although Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal illness from
her long exposure to radium, she never became disillusioned about her work. Regardless of
the consequences, she had dedicated herself to science and to revealing the mysteries of the
physical world.
