Answer:

b) The type of cone.

Explanation:

When we do a research, there are two main variables to take into account. These variables are the independent variable and the dependent variable.

  1. The independent variable is the one that we can control as researches and that will have an effect on another variable.
  2. The dependent variable is the one that we don't really have control on and is the one that gets affected by the independent variable.

In this example, the experimenter studies the influence of ingesting sugar on memory.

The variable that the experimenter will control is the cone he will give to children (low calorie or high sugar) and therefore this is the <u>independent variable.</u>

On the other hand, he will later test if there are differences in memory between both groups (by counting the number of trials it will take them to learn new words) this variable, he won't be able to control it, so this is the <u>dependent variable </u>

Thus, the independent variable as we said before will be b) the type of cone.

The Tennessee Valley Authority erected 20 dams, ________ providing much-needed jobs for up to 40,000 workers.
mrs_skeptik [129]

The correct answer is C. Eventually

Explanation:

An appropriate transition should always show the relationship between two sentences or two grammatical elements. In the case of the sentence "The Tennessee Valley Authority erected 20 dams, ________ providing much-needed jobs for up to 40,000 workers" it is suggested the jobs given to 40,000 workers were the result or consequence to the construction of 20 dams.

According to this, it is necessary to include a consequence transition such as therefore, thus or eventually. This means in this case the best option is "eventually" because this is the only transition that shows the consequence relationship between the two sentences; while the transition "because of" is used to show cause, "despite" is used to show contrast and "in addition" is used to add information.
