Answer:

dissonance        

Explanation:

Cognitive dissonance: The term is proposed by Leon Festinger in 1957. He believed that cognitive dissonance is the aversive or devious state of arousal that arises when a person conflicts among two or more cognitions and these cognitions are inconsistent with each other.

Example: A man smokes continuously instead of knowing that it can lead to cancer.

The term dissonance refers to the process when an individual's behavior conflicts with his or her beliefs. The dissonance can be reduced by adding new beliefs that can reduce conflicting behavior.

In the question above, Jeanine's original confusion is now resolved, reducing the dissonance she experienced.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

A. If a drug found in drinking water is not a significant public health hazard, then its presence in the water will not have any discernible health effects.

Explanation:

The researchers' maintained a point of view that, the low levels of the drugs found in the water poses no significant threat to public health.

Therefore their reasoning would be most strengthened by the answer "A" chosen above because it implies that;

low levels of the drugs have been present in water over time, and yet, no health effects have been detected previously. Therefore, even if the technology to detect such low levels of the drugs is now available, it shouldn't change the fact that such levels of the drug is still not a significant health hazard.
