The correct answer is B.

In this sentence, "but" is used as a preposition before a noun, and the full prepositional phrase is "but work."

In the other three sentences, "but" is used as a coordinating conjunction in compound sentence. In these sentences, "but" joins two independent clauses to form a compound sentence.

It is only in sentence B that "but" functions as a preposition.

Answer: The sentence in which "but" is used as a preposition is B. We discovered that Candy will do anything but work.

Explanation: A preposition is a word used to express a relation between two elements in the sentence. Although "but" is mainly used as a conjunction, it can also be used as a preposition. In sentence B., "but" is functioning as a preposition and its meaning is "except"; therefore, what the speaker is trying to say is that Candy will do anything except work. In contrast, in options A., B. and C., "but" has been used as a conjunction.

Answer:

The correct answer is: Research bias

Explanation:

Experimental bias, also known as research bias, is the phenomenon in which the researcher, that is conducting the experiment or the research, influences or effects the results or outcomes of the research to give the desired or expected outcome.

A bias may arise when the researcher selects the test subjects that are more likely to generate the expected result or when the researcher influences the test subjects to give the expected result.

This is influenced by the inability of a human being to remain unbiased and neutral.

Therefore, the given example is the demonstration of a research bias.
