Question

[112]. Passage: Women entered laboratories in growing numbers in the twentieth century, yet their work was often recorded under a supervisor's name or left out of prizes.

Recovering these names is therefore not a matter of politeness but of accuracy. The phrase 'recorded under a supervisor's name' implies:

1.
Women had no supervisors
2.
Supervisors did all the work
3.
Credit was misattributed
4.
Records were lost in fire
