Attempt 5 question
Each question carries 2 Marks (2 X 5)

DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
(There will be 5 questions carrying 2 marks each. All questions are mandatory.)

Marie Curie was one of the most accomplished scientists in history. Together with her
husband, Pierre, she discovered radium, an element widely used for treating cancer, and
studied uranium and other radioactive substances. Pierre and Marie’s amicable collaboration
later helped to unlock the secrets of the atom. Marie was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland,
where her father was a professor of physics. At an early age, she displayed a brilliant mind
and a blithe personality. Her great exuberance for learning prompted her to continue with her
studies after high school. She became disgruntled, however, when she learned that the
university in Warsaw was closed to women. Determined to receive a higher education, she
defiantly left Poland and in 1891 entered the Sorbonne, a French university, where she earned
her master’s degree and doctorate in physics.

Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne with some of the greatest scientists of
her day, one of whom was Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre were married in 1895 and spent
many productive years working together in the physics laboratory. A short time after they
discovered radium, Pierre was killed by a horse-drawn wagon in 1906. Marie was stunned by
this horrible misfortune and endured heartbreaking anguish. Despondently she recalled their
close relationship and the joy that they had shared in scientific research. The fact that she had
two young daughters to raise by herself greatly increased her distress.

Curie’s feeling of desolation finally began to fade when she was asked to succeed her
husband as a physics professor at the Sorbonne. She was the first woman to be given a
professorship at the world-famous university. In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in
chemistry for isolating radium. Although Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal illness from
her long exposure to radium, she never became disillusioned about her work. Regardless of
the consequences, she had dedicated herself to science and to revealing the mysteries of the
physical world.

Q1. With whom did Marie Curie discover radium?

Ans: Marie Curie discovered radium with her husband, Pierre.

Q2. In which year and for what reason did Marie Curie receive the Nobel Prize?
Ans: Marie Curie received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in the year 1911 for isolating
radium.

Q3. What prompted Curie to continue with her studies after high school?
Ans: Curie’s great exuberance for learning prompted her to continue with her studies after
high school.
