The female computers on the ground verified the data transmitted from the instruments attached to the X-1 on its record-breaking flight.
A. Chuck Yeager was proud of the place he earned in history.

B. Computers were talked about as if they were female, like hurricanes and ships.

C. Female engineers were key to the scientific advancement marked by this historic event.

D. The Mojave Desert was the ideal place to conduct such a huge experiment.
