Trevor is writing a report about the scientist Marie Curie. Trevor wants to revise the draft to improve his introductory paragraph. Read his draft and complete the task that follows.

Although she came from humble beginnings in her native country of Poland, Marie Curie (born Marie Salomea Skłodowska) was always eager to learn, and she was especially interested in science. Her family did not have much money, so she had to work several jobs in order to pay for college, eventually going on to study physics and math at the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris, France. That is where she met and married a physics professor named Pierre Curie. The Curies enjoyed doing research together and became known for discovering two new elements. By the time of her death in 1934, Marie Curie's impressive accomplishments included: 1) the discovery of the elements radium and polonium; 2) invention of the first portable x-ray machines and portable radiology units; and 3) directorship of Curie Laboratory (named after her!) at the Radium Institute of the University of Paris.

Choose the best hook that Trevor should use to begin his introductory paragraph:

A. Marie Curie worked as a tutor and governess so that her older sister could study medicine in Paris.
