Q11multiple_choice
Computational chemistry has transformed drug discovery by providing tools to model and predict molecular behavior. Traditionally, drug discovery involved labor-intensive trial and error. Now, with advanced algorithms and powerful computers, researchers can test interactions between drug candidates and biological targets via computer simulations before moving to the lab. One major advantage of computational methods is their ability to analyze vast chemical spaces. For example, machine learning algorithms can predict the binding affinity of millions of compounds to a target protein, narrowing down candidates for testing. This speeds up the discovery process and reduces costs. In one case, researchers identified a promising compound for treating a rare disease in weeks, a task that would have taken years using traditional methods. ▶Moreover, computational chemistry optimizes drug properties. By simulating different modifications to a molecular structure, researchers can predict changes in a drug's efficacy and safety. Repeating and refining this process fine-tunes drug candidates to achieve optimal therapeutic profiles. 【▇】 For example, modifying a molecule to enhance stability in the bloodstream can prevent it from breaking down too quickly, ensuring it reaches its target. ▶ 【▇】 Computational predictions must be validated experimentally, as computer models can sometimes produce false positives. 【▇】 Accurately simulating the human body's complex environment remains a formidable task. 【▇】

A. is far less time-consuming overall
B. is significantly more expensive to conduct
C. eliminates the need for lab work
D. requires a greater number of researchers

Q16multiple_choice
▶Ecological Systems Theory, introduced by Urie Bronfenbrenner, revolutionized our perception of human psychological development. 【▇】 It posits that individuals are shaped by interactions among multiple overlapping environmental systems. 【▇】 This theory reshaped developmental research, offering a multifaceted lens that surpasses earlier, linear models. 【▇】 By considering the dynamic interplay between a person and their environment, it highlights the multifactorial nature of psychological growth. 【▇】 The theory delineates several environmental layers, beginning with the microsystem, which refers to the institutions and groups that most directly impact the child's development, such as family and school. The mesosystem encompasses the relationships among the microsystems, such as the impact of a teacher's communication with parents on a child's education. Beyond these, the exosystem consists of indirect influences like a parent's workplace stress subtly affecting the home environment. The macrosystem, encompassing broader cultural and societal contexts, frames these interactions with underlying norms and policies. While Bronfenbrenner's model offers an intricate framework, it is not without critique. Some argue that the model underestimates the role of technology, which has created virtual microsystems that transcend geographical limits. Despite these critiques, the theory remains influential in fields ranging from education to public policy, prompting continuous exploration of its applications and adaptations.
Why does the author mention "a teacher's communication with parents" in paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate the interactions among microsystems that characterize the mesosystem
