The innovations (创新)that resulted from research and development during World War II and afterwards were【C1】______ to the prosperity of the nation in the second half of the 20th century. Those innovations, upon which virtually all aspects of【C2】______ society now depend, were possible because the United States then【C3】______ the world in mathematics and science education.
