HELP PLEASE ILL GIVE BRAINLIST What is the main purpose of the paragraph that begins with, "On her advice for future astronauts:
" in "Eileen Collins—NASA's First Female Shuttle Commander to Lead Next Shuttle Mission"? to argue that a background in mathematics, science, or technology may not always be necessary to become an astronaut
to highlight the importance of looking to other astronauts for inspiration when preparing to become an astronaut
to convince future astronauts to choose a career path based on their unique interests
to explain why operations research is the best field to pursue to for future astronauts
Answer: to convince future astronauts to choose a career path based on their unique interests
Explanation:
In the interview with the aforementioned title, Eileen Collins gave the advice that young people aspiring to be astronauts should choose a career path that was based on their unique interests because they would be more likely to be effective at their job if they liked their job.
Using her field of Operations Research which had no prior astronauts as an example, she drove home that point. She however mentioned that a background in mathematics, science, or technology was mandatory regardless of the career path chosen.
