Science teacher: In any nation, a flourishing national scientific community is essential to a successful economy. For such a community to flourish requires that many young people become excited enough about science that they resolve to become professional scientists. Good communication between scientists and the public is necessary to spark that excitement. The science teacher's statements provide the most support for which one of the following? ['An essential component of success in any scientific endeavor is good communication between the scientists involved in that endeavor and the public.', 'If scientists communicate with the public, many young people will become excited enough about science to resolve to become professional scientists.', 'The extent to which a national scientific community flourishes depends principally on the number of young people who become excited enough about science to resolve to become professional scientists.', 'No nation can have a successful economy unless at some point scientists have communicated well with the public.']
