Read this information about environmental scientists and chemists. Which statement accurately describes a way in which the jobs of environmental scientists and chemists contrast? Both environmental scientists and chemists work mainly in laboratories and offices. Both environmental scientists and chemists look for solutions to protect the environment. Environmental scientists look for solutions to protect the environment, while chemists develop new products. Environmental scientists are required to have a master's degree, while chemists need only a bachelor's degree.

Answer 1

Answer:

Environmental scientists look for solutions to protect the environment, while chemists develop new products.

Explanation:

The last two sentences use the conjunction while meaning whereas, i.e. indicating a contrast. So the purpose of sentences 3 and 4 is to contrast certain things about environmental scientists and chemists. However, the fourth sentence contrasts only level of education required for these jobs.

The third sentence refers to actual work that environmental scientists and chemists do. Therefore, this sentence most accurately describes a way in which the jobs of environmental scientists and chemists contrast.
