Which change makes Dr. Jordan's situation more plausible in the following scenario? Dr. Jordan, a bioengineer, dedicated her life's research to finding a way to create edible plants that are not susceptible to fungal diseases
or other problems that make the plant die before its fruit reaches maturity. After receiving funding from the government, Dr. Jordan
developed a new type of seedling that is resistant to major fungal growths.

change "the government" to "a privatized bioengineering company"

Explanation:

Changing the statement that Dr. Jordan received funding from the government to the statement that she received funding from a privatized bioengineering company, would make her story more plausible. This is because as a Bioengineer in the same field, it is easy for her efforts to be recognized by the Bioengineering company who also shares similar goals and objectives with her.

This does not rule out the fact that it is impossible for her to have received funding from the government. But the story would be more plausible if the funding came from a privatized bioengineering company for the above-stated reason.

pepin the short[a] (german: pippin der kurze, french: pépin le bref, c. 714 – 24 september 768) was the king of the franks from 751 until his death. he was the first of the carolingians to become king.[b][2]

the younger son of the frankish prince charles martel and his wife rotrude, pepin's upbringing was distinguished by the ecclesiastical education he had received from the monks of st. denis. succeeding his father as the mayor of the palace in 741, pepin reigned over francia jointly with his elder brother carloman. pepin ruled in neustria, burgundy, and provence, while his brother carloman established himself in austrasia, alemannia and thuringia. the brothers were active in suppressing revolts led by the bavarians, aquitanians, saxons, and the alemanni in the early years of their reign. in 743, they ended the frankish interregnum by choosing childeric iii, who was to be the last merovingian monarch, as figurehead king of the franks.

the answer is the government.
