The first statement states that Charles Darwin was one of the many independent researchers who did stunningly original work and was not reliant on grants or constrained by conservative pressures. Statement A follows the first statement by saying that 'that kind of freedom and independence' (i.e. the freedom and independence enjoyed by Charles Darwin) is non-existent these days. 'A' also ideally precedes the last statement which states that these days research is determined by science funding committees and not by human imagination.
