question 9 of 10
with which statement would mary shelley most likely agree, based on the ideas presented in frankenstein?

a. scientists must consider the consequences before pushing the limits of science.

b. nature can cure any of humanity’s problems.

c. scientific advancements will always cause a loss of humanity.

d. seeking personal glory can bring fame, but the negative effects outweigh the benefits of fame.

Explanation:

In "Frankenstein", Victor Frankenstein's reckless scientific pursuit (creating the creature) without considering consequences leads to tragedy. Option A aligns with this theme as it emphasizes scientists considering consequences before advancing science. Option B is too extreme (nature can’t cure “any” problem). Option C is also extreme (scientific advancements “always” cause loss of humanity isn’t supported). Option D focuses on personal glory, but the novel’s core about science and its consequences makes A more fitting.

Answer:

A. Scientists must consider the consequences before pushing the limits of science.
