The main point of the author is that : Because of her work during and after launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik in 1957, Katherine's career takes off. Option A
The text that agrees with the option that we have chose in A is : "The 1957 launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik changed history-and Katherine bJohnson's life." Option B
Who was Katherine Johnson ?
NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson's calculations enabled the US to launch an astronaut into orbit for the first time. Additionally, she was essential in the calculations for the first moon landing.
Throughout her career, Johnson wrote or coauthored 26 research reports. Johnson also had a significant impact on NASA's crewed spaceflight Mercury program (1961–1963). She determined the flight path for Freedom 7, the spaceship that sent Alan B. Shepard Jr., the first American astronaut, into space in 1961.
An African American woman worked for NASA and contributed to both the moon missions and the placement of an astronaut in orbit around the Earth.

Johnson Biography."
The 1957 launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik changed history-and Katherine Johnson's life. In 1957, Katherine provided some of the math for the 1958 document Notes on Space Technology, a compendium of a series of 1958 lectures given by engineers in the Flight Research Division and the Pilotless Aircraft Research Division (PARD). Engineers from those groups formed the core of the Space Task Group, the NACA's first official foray into space travel, and Katherine, who had worked with many of them since coming to Langley, came along with the program" as the NACA became NASA later that year. She did trajectory analysis for Alan Shepard's May 1961 Freedom 7, America's first human spaceflight. In 1960, she and engineer Ted Skopinski coauthored Determination of Azimuth Angle at Burnout for Placing a Satellite Over a Selected Earth Position, a report laying out the equations describing an orbital spaceflight in which the landing position of
