Answer:
Walton’s letters to his sister form a frame around the main narrative, Victor Frankenstein’s tragic story. Walton captains a North Pole–bound ship that gets trapped between sheets of ice. While waiting for the ice to thaw, he and his crew pick up Victor, weak and emaciated from his long chase after the monster. Victor recovers somewhat, tells Walton the story of his life, and then dies. Walton laments the death of a man with whom he felt a strong, meaningful friendship beginning to form.
Walton functions as the conduit through which the reader hears the story of Victor and his monster. However, he also plays a role that parallels Victor’s in many ways. Like Victor, Walton is an explorer, chasing after that “country of eternal light”—unpossessed knowledge. Victor’s influence on him is paradoxical: one moment he exhorts Walton’s almost-mutinous men to stay the path courageously, regardless of danger; the next, he serves as an abject example of the dangers of heedless scientific ambition. In his ultimate decision to terminate his treacherous pursuit, Walton serves as a foil (someone whose traits or actions contrast with, and thereby highlight, those of another character) to Victor, either not obsessive enough to risk almost-certain death or not courageous enough to allow his passion to drive him.

Answer:
1. Part that includes subject and main action
- Dr. Nima Mesgarani and his team are developing
2. Part that is a detail about the subject
- Professor of electrical engineering
3. Part that is the outcome of the main action
- technology that may someday translate people's thought into electronically produced speech.
Explanation:
I have been able to match each sentence to the part the question answers.
In no. 1 you discover that it mentions the name of the subject and his team and also informed us the action they are carrying out: "developing".
In no. 2, we see that the information/detail of the subject was clearly stated, that he is "Professor of electrical engineering".
In no. 3, we are giving the outcome of the main action. The outcome is that the technology that is being developed may someday translate people's thought into electronically produced speech.
