Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: 

Alexander Fleming was a Scottish bacteriologist who is best known for his discovery of penicillin,
the world's first antibiotic. Fleming's discovery revolutionized the medical field and has saved
countless lives. Born in 1881 in Lochfield, Scotland, Fleming showed an early interest in science. He
studied medicine at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, where he later worked as a
researcher.

In 1928, while experimenting with influenza virus, Fleming noticed that a mold called Penicillium
notatum had killed a number of bacteria on a petri dish. He isolated the mold and found that it
produced a substance, which he named penicillin, that was effective against a wide range of harmful
bacteria. Despite the potential of his discovery, Fleming's initial findings did not receive much
attention, and it was only years later, with the help of other scientists, that penicillin was developed
into a widely-used antibiotic.

Fleming's work earned him numerous accolades, including the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1945.
Despite his fame, he remained humble and dedicated to his work. Fleming's discovery not only
transformed the treatment of bacterial infections but also paved the way for future research in
antibiotics and immunology. He passed away in 1955, leaving behind a legacy of scientific
achievement and medical advancement.
