B) Advances in computer chip speed and efficiency beyond the year 2010 may depend on the outcome of various current research projects, including that conducted by Belcher and Hu, which focus on using peptides to bind different crystals together.
(C) Belcher and Hu's research on the abilities of some peptides to bind to semiconductor materials indicates that peptides might eventually be applied to the production of computer chips with transistors smaller than the lower limit set by current methods.
I am confused with option choices B and C for the 1st ques - primary purpose.
Can we reject ans choice B because the outcome for Belcher and Hu that focussed on using peptides to bind different crystals together weas already determined?
This is a tough one. The big difference between the two is that (B) makes it sound as though the passage is about multiple research projects, one of which is by Belcher and Hu.
The only problem? No one else's research is mentioned. Belcher and Hu aren't one of many here. They're the whole show.
(C) makes it clear that the passage is primarily about Belcher and Hu's research and how that research might be applied to the problem of designing smaller transistors. So (C) is a bit better.
I hope that helps!
