Answer choice (D) states: "In the past, scientists working in industry had free access to the results of basic research conducted in universities." We are looking for the answer choice that is supported by both passages. Passage A's support for answer choice (D) can be found in lines: "1-6." Clearly, in the past, university researchers were dedicated to the "collegial sharing of ideas," i.e. scientists working in industry had free access to the results of basic research conducted in universities. Passage B's support for answer choice (D) can be found in lines "32-37." We are clearly told that the results of science "Were once considered primarily of a public good," which was accessible to "society as a whole," i.e. scientists working in industry had free access to the results of basic research conducted in universities. Thus, answer choice (D) is supported by both Passage A and Passage B. Hope that clears things up! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
