Answer 1

Richard Ebright

Ebright lost interest in tagging butterflies as there was no feedback about them.

Explanation:

• In the story 'The Making of a Scientist’  we learn about the life and work of Richard Ebright, a famous scientist and lepidopterist.

• Ebright raised thousands of Monarch butterflies to study their habits.
• He tagged the butterflies and released them to study their migratory habits.
• However he soon lost interest in tagging butterflies because only two of his tagged butterflies were returned to him and they had travelled only seventy-five miles.
• Other than these two there was no feedback about the tagged butterflies .
• Ebright thus could not get any information about his raised butterflies. There was no progress in his research.
• For this he stopped raising the Monarch butterflies and lost all interest in them.
