Passage Summary: To be famous, the department needs to do basic science, but they can't do that without more money from non-corporate sources.

Conclusion: The chemistry department will likely fail to gain prestige unless it gets more funding from sources that are not profit-driven.

Reasoning: Prestige comes only from basic science achievements, and those achievements are unlikely without more funding for basic research.

Analysis: The argument assumes that the current 'profit-driven' funding isn't going toward 'basic science research.' If the pharmaceutical companies were already funding basic research, the department could get prestige without needing new types of sources. The gap is between the source of the money (profit-driven) and the type of research (basic science). Look for an answer that suggests profit-driven institutions are not currently providing the necessary support for the kind of research that leads to prestige.
