Answer: a. testing effect

Explanation:

Testing effect is a type of threat to internal validity of an experiment. Internal validity is assessing whether a factor makes a difference in an experiment or not and if it does, whether there is adequate evidence to support this correlation.

Testing as a threat to internal validity is when a second test is taken on the outcome of a first test. Other internal validity threats are history, maturation, instrument modifications.

What would happen if you have ro give up one of these human necessities?<br>​
cupoosta [38]

Answer: It would significantly affect my quality of life

Explanation: Basic human needs are so-called for something, since they allow the human being to live a quality life. If, for example, I had to give up eating, going to the bathroom, or not having a home, I would suffer both physically and mentally. It is obvious that if I don't eat, I'm going to die in a short time, if I don't have a roof to sleep in, I'm also going to die because the temperature outside is going to hurt me and I would be very depressed mentally.

If the president of the United States disagrees with a law passed by Congress, he or she can _______ this law.
babunello [35]

Answer:

Veto

Explanation:

The veto is a part of the checks and balances system in the  Government, which prevents one branch from gaining too much power.

If the President thinks an act or bill that Congress has passed is unconstitutional or unfair, they can veto it, which will prevent it from becoming a law. This action "checks" Congress/ The Legislative Branch.

The Legislative Branch can then "check" the Executive Branch of the President and they can override the veto, if they get enough votes in Congress. This will allow the bill to pass.  If they can't get enough votes, the bill won't be able to pass.
