#21 As she did so, she wrote footnote to contribute her own additional insights, including many that greatly clarified the mechanism of Babbage's work and expanded on its vast potential.
NO CHANGE

#22 At this point, the writer is considering dividing the paragraph into two. Making this change would help organize the essay by separating:
a suggestion that Lovelace too unwarranted liberties in the act translation from an explanation of why she did so
an overview of the limitations of Babbage's lecture from an explanation of how the analytical engine could improve industries such as weaving
details of how Lovelace translated the French text from an explanation of Babbage's response to that translation
an introduction to Lovelace's translation from details that establish why it was so extraordinary
#23 Babbage proposed that, in his machine, such a card could specify mathematical operations Lovelace quickly grasped. This idea's immense potential and strove to demonstrate it.
NO CHANGE

#29 Naturally, in the 1970s, the Department of Defense named a software language "ada" in her honor, and, on the second Tuesday of every October, Ada Lovelace Day prompts us to notice women in STEM fields.
Which choice most strongly and specifically emphasized that Ada Lovelace Day is intended to shine a light on often-overlooked work done by women in math and science fields?
NO CHANGE

#30 Writer's primary purpose had been to discuss a mathematician whose work was remarkable but did not receive great recognition. Would this essay accomplish that purpose?
Yes, because it proves the Lovelace improved on Babbage's work to change the course of computer science
Yes, because it recounts the story of Ada Lovelace's pioneering work in her field and of the recognition she has received decades after her death
No, because although it describes the program Lovelace wrote, it does not provide evidence that the program was remarkable
No, because the passage speculates that Babbage recognized Lovelace's intelligence
