(2022 农行)All of the 2023 Nobel Prize in science were awarded to men. That’s a return to business as usual, after biochemical engineer Frances Arnold won in 2018 for chemistry,
and Donna Strickland received the 2018 Nobel Prize in physics.
Strickland was only the third female physicist to get a Nobel, following Maria Curie in 1903 and Maria Goeppert 60 years later. When asked how that felt, she noted that at first it
was surprising to realize so few women had won the award: “But, I mean, I do live in a world of mostly men, so seeing mostly men doesn’t really ever surprise me neither.”
Q: What did Donna Strickland mean when she was asked how she felt?
A She still felt surprised why there were few women that had won the Nobel Prize
B
She thought that men deserved the awards as they made great contribution
C
She no longer felt surprised as there were always more men in her career and life
D
She was surprised by the fact that there were so few women in her world
