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.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

I believe it is to avoid military conflict, and still getting North Korea to change their Nuclear Weapon Policies and to stop North Korea from all spending on their military.

Explanation:

North Korea seemed to spend a lot of what they have on the Military. Foreigners to North Korea, that were for the most part, part of NATO wanted to help that happen without getting into some sort of nuclear conflict. They also wanted to change nuclear weapon policies, as the START treaty was in place between the US and Russia during Obama's first term of presidency I believe, and at the time leader, and current leader, Vladimir Putin has grown to like. So they wanted to talk to North Korea about it too.
