Answer 1

Answer:

Children whose parents argue in their presence are more likely than other children to try illegal drugs.

Explanation:

• A hypothesis is fundamentally a supposition. It is based on assumptions or claims that do not have concrete facts. A statement made through hypothetical assumption is indefinite yet it does not mean it is not incorrect.

• Researchers may make hypothetical assumptions before any concrete researches are done. For instance, "A room filled with incense may increase our mental and spiritual abilities." is a hypothetical statement.
• Similarly, "Children whose parents argue in their presence are more likely than other children to try illegal drugs." is also a hypothetical statement.
