1 Deduction
2 Conclusion
3 Hypothesis
4 Experiment

Answer 1

I believe the answer would be hypothesis. Because it's the students suggestion. He still doesn't know for sure so it's not the conclusion. The experiment was already given so it can't be that and the student isn't taking anything out of the experiment so it's not a deduction.

Answer 2

The answer would be hypothesis.... It is a suggestion/educated guess.
