the compound with the smaller lattice energy is potassium sulphide here the size of the molecule play a important role

The quantity of energy released by the electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions is known as lattice energy (L.E). The ion's size and charge affect the lattice energy.

lattice energy is inversely proportional to   size of ion and directly proportional to charge of the ion. They are each charged equally that is plus two and minus two However, because the Sulphur is larger in size  and the oxygen is lesser in this case, The lattice energy of potassium oxide is larger  the lattice energy of potassium sulphide  is smaller.

Tresset [83]

During a scientific study a hypotheses is generally modified or discarded

so for first blank the answer is hypotheses

Now in case of phlogiston theory it was assumed that when a substance catches fire it evolve certain substances known as phlogiston which was later on discarded as there is no such particle. Infact a substane undergoing oxidation may gain weight

Hence in second blank the answer is new evidence didn’t support it,
