No child is too young to play and therefore to engage in engineering, even though it is of a primitive kind. We all did so as children ourselves, when we devised our own toys and games - and sometimes even imaginary friends to enjoy them with us. The idea of playfulness is embedded in engineering through the concepts of invention and design. Not that engineering is trivial; rather, the heart of the activity is to give imagination its freedom to dream and turn those dreams into reality. Children do experience the essence of engineering in their earliest activities, yet there is seldom any recognition that this is the case. They may hear the word 'engineer' only in connection with railroad locomotives and have no idea that their playful activity could become a lifelong profession. Engineers themselves are understandably reluctant to equate their professional activity with mere child's play; after all, they studied long and hard to master complicated knowledge of atoms and molecules, stresses and strains, heat and power, current and voltages, bits and bytes. They manipulate equations, not blocks. They use computers for serious modelling and calculation, not for fun and games. They design and build real towers and bridges that test the limits of reliability and safety, not toy ones that totter and fall down with little consequence.
The main point the writer is making in this passage is that ------.
A) man has practised engineering ever since primitive times
B) some children are born to be engineers
C) children and engineers both have the capacity to imagine and create
D) reliability and safety are minor details for the professional engineer
E) any engineering fault in design or calculation does have serious consequences

C) Some scientists used to believe that rocket exhaust needed something to push against in order to move the rocket; however, rockets traveling in the vacuum of space demonstrated that this belief was not true.
D) Some scientists used to believe that the rockets could move only when there was something that the rocket exhaust could push against; however, when rockets travelled in space, they realized the inaccuracy of their beliefs.
E) Some scientists held that there had to be something against which the rocket exhaust could push in order to move the rocket; however, the inaccuracy of this idea was understood when rocket succefully travelled in space.
