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.

svp [43]
No, a sandwich uses bread. Hotdog uses buns.... unless you are cheap and use bread. Still not a sandwich though.

Cereal is not soup. If it were, it would just be called breakfast soup... but it’s not, it’s called cereal... so, no.
