The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The interpretation of the message of this Thomas Nast political cartoon, which shows Boss Tweed laughing as he is being arrested while the Shadow of Justice looks is the following.

Boss Tweed was the classical representation of corrupt practices of interest groups in United States politics in the Mid 1800s.

Boss Tweed(1823-1878) was a United States politician leader of the political machine of the Democratic Party called "Tammany Hall" in New York City. He was also a businessman with many economic interests and political agendas that bribed legislators to favor his own interests and other businessmen's interests.

So in the cartoon, Thomas Nast depicted the power and influenced Tweed had in New York with the text: "Sheriff Brennan merely nodded to Mr. Tweed, bade him 'Goode-day,' and laying his hand tenderly on his shoulder, said laughing, 'You're my man!' Tweed believed that he could control everybody, including the court system.

Which change makes Dr. Jordan's situation more plausible in the following scenario?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

change "the government" to "a privatized bioengineering company"

Explanation:

Changing the statement that Dr. Jordan received funding from the government to the statement that she received funding from a privatized bioengineering company, would make her story more plausible. This is because as a Bioengineer in the same field, it is easy for her efforts to be recognized by the Bioengineering company who also shares similar goals and objectives with her.

This does not rule out the fact that it is impossible for her to have received funding from the government. But the story would be more plausible if the funding came from a privatized bioengineering company for the above-stated reason.
