This is missing an important part of the main point: the relationship between language/math and the real world. The author’s ultimate conclusion isn’t that math and language are imperfect; P4 highlights the need for scientists to study the implications of the relationship between language and the world.

Also note that it may overstate the case to describe the author as concluding that language and math are imperfect. While she describes theories that say they are, strictly speaking, she doesn’t take a position herself.

This is descriptively inaccurate. The passage does not accept that acquiring scientific knowledge depends on acknowledging that all mathematics is inexact. It may be the case that the relationship between math and the world is inexact, but this doesn’t mean that math itself is inexact.

This is descriptively inaccurate. The author never suggests that the pursuit of new knowledge must be abandoned, so this can’t be the main point.

This correctly states the author’s main point as outlined in P4. Scientists must seek to better understand the relationship between math and reality. This is because some linguists have argued that language may only have meaning because people agree that it has meaning, rather than because language captures some objective description of reality. Since math can be seen as a kind of language, scientists should consider what this means for math and science.

This is never stated in the passage––the author never suggests that the debates among linguists were necessary to spark similar debates among scientists. In fact, the author says that scientists haven’t even had this debate yet.
