f. by contrasting jackson’s experience at nasa with other women’s experiences

Explanation:

• For option C: The text describes Jackson's accomplishments at NASA, like completing courses, earning a promotion to engineer, becoming NASA's first Black female engineer, and co - authoring reports.
• For option F: It contrasts Jackson's experience (e.g., being a rare Black female aeronautical engineer, facing a glass ceiling) with other women's experiences at the center (where the glass ceiling was the rule for female professionals). Option A is incorrect as the text doesn't explain why NASA hired Jackson. Option B is incorrect as it doesn't focus on the impacts of her research. Option D is incorrect as it also describes her career progress and achievements, not just limited opportunities. Option E is incorrect as there's no comparison with men's experiences.

Answer:

C. by describing Jackson’s accomplishments while at NASA, F. by contrasting Jackson’s experience at NASA with other women’s experiences
