This picture can be true sometimes, but it hides an important fact: modern science usually moves forward because people work together.\n\nCollaboration can start in simple ways. A student might ask a teacher for advice, or two classmates might share notes after a lesson. In research, it can mean something bigger: teams from different universities, or even different countries, sharing ideas and results. When people combine their skills, they can solve problems faster than one person can.\n\nOne reason collaboration helps is that scientists do not all think in the same way. For example, a biologist may understand living things very well, while a computer programmer may be better at finding patterns in large amounts of information. If they work separately, each one can only go so far. But together, they can create new tools, test more possibilities, and avoid repeating work that has already been done.\n\nWorking with others also makes research more reliable. If one team does an experiment and another team checks it, mistakes are easier to find. This does not mean scientists do not trust each other. It means they want strong evidence. Many important discoveries become accepted only after different groups get similar results.\n\nHowever, collaboration is not always easy. Teams may disagree, and it can take time to explain an idea clearly. Sometimes people worry about who will get credit for the work. Good communication and clear planning can reduce these problems.\n\nOverall, collaboration does not remove the need for creative individuals. It supports them. When scientists share knowledge, challenge each other politely, and build on earlier work, progress becomes more likely. The best results often come from minds that are connected, not isolated.","Science Works Better Together",{"1":8,"2":13,"3":18,"4":23,"5":28},[9,10,11,12],"It shows scientists need machines to be successful.","It explains why books are essential for every discovery.","It proves scientists prefer working at night.","It suggests scientific progress is mainly made by individuals, not groups.",[14,15,16,17],"Students asking teachers for homework answers only.","Researchers competing to stop others publishing first.","Teams from different places sharing ideas and results.","One scientist keeping all results secret until the end.",[19,20,21,22],"Collaboration guarantees every experiment will succeed.","Working separately always takes longer because science is difficult.","Scientists become smarter when they work in the same building.","Different experts can combine strengths and avoid doing the same work twice.",[24,25,26,27],"Scientists trust each other more when they share a lab.","Other teams can check results and spot errors more easily.","Collaboration makes experiments cheaper in every situation.","It stops all disagreements between researchers.",[29,30,31,32],"It only works for small school projects, not real science.","It supports individual creativity and usually leads to stronger progress.","It mainly creates problems about credit, so it should be avoided.","It is unnecessary because one talented person can do everything.",{"1":34,"2":35,"3":36,"4":37,"5":38},"According to the writer, what is misleading about the common image of a scientist?","In research, what can collaboration involve?","Why does collaboration help scientists solve problems more effectively?","How does collaboration make research more reliable, according to the text?","What is the writer’s overall opinion about collaboration in science?",1417,{"id":41,"username":42,"first_name":43,"last_name":44,"image":45},27716,"javiera-san","Javiera","San","https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocKI02SgiwHT8a_apGjkOx3t-8Z_LxmEvZ9mDvxrI39haQ_imnZp=s96-c","B1","Reading","Long Text","long-text","Create an exercise about the role of collaboration in scientific progress","Standard",{"times_played":53,"num_favorites":53},0,"2026-08-21T23:43:16",null,false,true]
