Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follow it

So far, I have been speaking of science in its university, viewed from the perspective of the world at large. For in the context of our own country and our sister developing countries many of the factors mentioned earlier are not very important. For example, pollution deterioration of the environment and population expulsion are not yet serious problems for it in this country.

Let me turn to a more specific area, namely, the question of scientific choice for developing countries. There is no doubt that the role which science and technology have played in the upliftment of the materials and economic wellbeing of the developed nations will, and does, influence the criteria that the third world nations must choose in order to establish their science policies and priorities.

But the criteria to be used by these nations do not have to be the same as those which brought the developed countries to their present stage of evolution. For while human beings have the same problems, their solutions, to be meaningful will have to be sought within relevant frame of reference, such as the available resources and expertise, social values, place and time in the historical scale.

“Frame of reference” in this passage means
