As
In the third paragraph of the passage C, which sentence best shows that Katherine Johnson was
held in high regard while she worked at NASA?
Select the correct text in the passage.
Hola
In 1953, Johnson began working for what would become NASA. As a human computer, she
calculated the path of space flight for Alan Shepard, the first American to travel into space.
Even after NASA began using electronic computers, astronauts continued to rely on
Johnson's work. John Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth, requested that Johnson
personally recheck the electronic calculations for his historic flight on Friendship 7. Her
calculations were just as critical to the success of the Apollo moon landing program and the
start of NASA's space shuttle program. After she retired from NASA, Johnson's work
continued to be celebrated. In 2015, President Barack Obama honored her with the nation's
highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
