Answer:

The correct answer is a. Humphreys used license plate numbers to target their homes and interview the men without disclosing the real subject of his study.

Explanation:

Laud Humphreys (1930-1988) was a sociologist who for his PhD dissertation wrote a study called <em>Tearoom Trade</em> (1968), where he studied the behavior of males who engaged in homosexual sex in public toilets. Humphreys made a series of discoveries, like finding out that most of the men who engaged in these practices were not openly or overtly homosexual, and even a majority of them (54%) were married. However, his research was widely criticized because of how he performed it. Humphreys acted out as a sort of look-out for the men in the toilets, but without disclosing his identity as a researcher. Moreover, <u>Humphreys followed the unwitting subjects of his study to their homes by </u><u>tracking their license plate numbers and interviewed them</u><u>, posing as a government health officer and hiding his true identity as a sociologist conducting research</u>. Lying to subjects and hiding from them that they're part of a study is frowned upon by the scientific community, so the research was widely controversial, and it's still brought up as an example of the ethics of social research.

PLEASE HELP ME!!! IM GIVING 50 POINTS!!!
Alex777 [14]

Formula:

Hydrogen Chloride = HCl                                             (Chemical Compound)

Sodium = Na                                                                   (Chemical Element)

Reactants:

A simple definition of a reactant can be the substances that go into a chemical reaction. By substances I mean any chemical.

Products:

A simple definition of a product can be the substances produced at the end of the reaction. Again by substances I mean any chemical.

Definition of the answer:

We know that Sodium is a Chemical Element and as decribed in the picture it was mixed by Hydrogen Chloride and we know that is a Chemical Compound. So in this case the Na CI can be the product that was produced at the last and it was the result after the chemical reaction was taken place. The reactant can be the Sodium. I chose that because Reactant is a substance/chemical that goes into a chemical reaction. So as seen in the picture it went into the beaker.

Hope this helps.
