Answer:  The publication of the Pentagon Papers increased the American public's distrust of the US government.

Explanation:

Daniel Ellsberg was the military analyst who leaked "The Pentagon Papers" to the American press in 1971, revealing top secret information about US planning and decision-making in regard to the Vietnam War.  

The Vietnam War had a major impact in shifting public opinion toward distrust of government.  During the Vietnam War, a major credibility gap  became apparent in regard to what the government was telling the American public vs. what was actually taking place.  The term "credibility gap" was used by journalists who questioned the optimistic picture that the Lyndon Johnson administration painted regarding how the war was going, when investigative reporting showed a much more negative reality.

The credibility gap grew especially apparent when the Pentagon Papers (classified documents) were leaked to the press in 1971, showing that the government indeed had been deceiving the public about the plans and conduct of the war over the years.

The effect that the publication of the Pentagon Papers had on the American public was that it made them trust the government even less than they had before, at a period in time when government had been seriously questioned beforehand for the Vietnam War. The Pentagon Papers revealed a series of lies the President and his administration had fabricated to the American people and in front of Congress.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Gender of campers

Explanation:

Confounding variable may be explained as a that variable which is unaccounted for in our experiment and goes on to cause a spurious relationship between the measured and predicted variables in the experiment. This is possible because the unaccounted for variable has a relationship between the variables which are being researched. Confounding variable here is the gender of campers, Using a certain capper gender to generalize on all campers will likely have a Confounding effect on our output as gender effect of the campers may differ.
