- (1) at the very beginning of paragraph 2, when it describes cytologists. Perhaps there is some back-handed reason why they hate biochemists in there?
(2) The whole (very short) paragraph 3, when it gives reasons why biochemists were "judged."
In a perfect world, I would have just tried (2) first but I didn't. However, (2) gives us answer choice (B) almost verbatim in lines 36-7 when it says "...biochemists inadequate to characterize the structures of the living cell."
- (A) starts off really well! However, we don't know too much about the "chemical reactions that occurred in cytological preparations."
(C) I don't think that cytologists really had a problem with the biochemists lack of interest in anything - they seem to have more of a problem with the biochemists' perceived lack of knowledge/skill/etc. In addition, we do know the biochemists were interested in protoplasm (31)
(D) We know that cytologists were interested in cell division (21) yet we have no reason to believe, like I said in (C), that cytologists really had a problem with the biochemist's lack of interest.
(E) very tough! However, we only have evidence that the biochemists were too ignorant of chemistry (not cytology). In addition, we don't really know WHO was judging the biochemists on this.
During this passage, I said "meh" to (A), found (B), and took a quick glance at (C), (D), and (E) knowing that they weren't any better than (B). I eliminated (C) and (D) right away because of "interest" - something that the cytologists didn't appear to have a problem with and I eliminated (E) because I didn't think cytologists were concerned about biochemist's ignorance of cytology.
