Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 26 to 30.
Marie Curie stands as one of history's most remarkable scientists. Born in Warsaw in 1867, she faced significant challenges as a woman pursuing higher education in the late 19th century. Despite financial hardships and gender discrimination, she moved to Paris to study physics and mathematics at the Sorbonne. There, she met Pierre Curie, who would become both her husband and research partner.
Together, they discovered two new radioactive elements: polonium and radium. Their groundbreaking research on radioactivity earned them the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics, making Marie the first woman to receive this prestigious award. After Pierre's tragic death in 1906, Marie continued their work with unwavering determination. In 1911, she won a second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, becoming the first person to win Nobel Prizes in multiple sciences.
During World War I, Curie developed mobile X-ray units and trained women to be X-ray operators, significantly improving medical care for wounded soldiers. Despite the health risks of working with radioactive materials (which were unknown at the time), she remained dedicated to her research. Her commitment to science never wavered, even as she raised two daughters as a single mother. Tragically, her prolonged exposure to radiation led to her death in 1934, but her scientific legacy lives on through the numerous medical applications of her discoveries, particularly in cancer treatment.
