Answer:

a: euphenism

Explanation:

 Press secretaries must have a very good knowledge of how to use the appropriate words. In this occasion, in order to find a way to avoid embarassment resulting from a lie,<em> he tries t</em><em>o minimize</em><em> what he had declared</em> before, so he employs an euphenism, by using and comparing the expressions "operatrive statement" and "inoperative" instead of acknowledging: <em>"I was wrong when said that."</em>

When half of his class earned D's and F's on the midterm exam, Professor Bush came back to the next class and delivered a stern
yKpoI14uk [10]

This question is missing the answer choices. I have found the complete question online. The choices are:

a) cooperative

b) dispositional

c) accusatory

d) situational

Answer:

These attributions, which were all b) dispositional attributions, did not really give any consideration to the fact that the students may have had other reasons for failing the exam that were beyond their immediate control.

Explanation:

<u>This question is related to the attribution theory, which analyzes how people try to find relationships of cause and effect, even there is none, to explain events or behaviors.</u> There are two ways in which people justify or explain something: the situational attributions and the dispositional attributions.

<u>Professor Bush is using the </u><u>dispositional attribution</u><u>. To him, the reason why the students failed is internal - a trait or characteristic the students possess. To his mind, they are lazy and undisciplined, and that is the sole cause of their bad grades.</u>

Professor Bush failed to consider any reasons outside the students themselves, any outside forces, which would be an example of situational attribution. For instance, students may be going through a hard time financially, or perhaps undergoing a lot of pressure and stress for some reason.

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

the change in the dependent variable may be solely attributed to the change in the independent variable

Explanation:

Experimental projects are those developed from scientific methodologies that seek to analyze data and develop efficient and accurate conclusions. In this type of project, the dependent and independent variables are strongly linked and related to each other. However, the independent variable is the only one that has the power to modify and influence the dependent variable, through modifications in itself.
