Answer:

c) the emotional or neutral word list

Explanation:

In research, we usually have two different types of variables:

  • The independent variable is the one that the researchers can control and that will have an effect on another variable.
  • The dependent variable is the one that cannot be control and that is affected by the independent variable. Researchers observe this variable to see how it changes. This is the variable that will be tested or measured.

In other words, the independent variable has an effect on another one and it can actually be controlled by researchers.

In this example, Dr. Kang wants to examine the effects of emotion on memory. In other words, how emotions affect memory. He proceeds to hand a list of words with very emotional content to a group of subjects and a list of neutral words to another group and then measures how many words each group is able to remember. We can see that he thinks emotional words will have an EFFECT on emotion. Also, he can control this variable by handing different lists (emotional or neutral words) to each group. Therefore, this is the independent variable. ( c. the emotional or neutral word list)

Explanation:

Cultural deviance theory states that an individual is not inherently deviant and he has not evolved to commit crimes. An individual is forced to be deviant from the societal norms due to the place and the structure of the community and the society in which he lives.

Poverty, illiteracy and ethnic diversity and broken families are the factors which constitute for an individual to become a delinquent. It is observed that the value system and the set of beliefs of a delinquent is invariably different to a conformist.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Cores taken near the oceanic ridges show the age and thickness of the sediment increases as you move away from the ridge. This supports seafloor spreading because it indicates the

  • the younger crust nearest the ridges has not been around long enough to accumulate the same thickness of sediment as sections farther out did.

Explanation:

  • Seafloor spreading is such a process which takes place when a volcano occurs. Due to which a new oceanic crust is formed which gradually move away from the ridge.
  • Cores taken near the oceanic ridges show the age and thickness of the sediment increases as you move away from the ridge. The younger crust nearest the ridges has not been around long enough to accumulate the same thickness of sediment that's why the the sections of crust that are further from the ridges have longer time to have more thickness and age.

Gemiola [76]

Answer: Positive externality

Explanation: Positive externality is the concept in which the service produced and the consumption of that service will provide benefit a third party who is not a part of the process.

While producing fertilizer , it is providing a unintentional benefit to the  community surrounding(third party) by keeping the insects away through exerting gases so that they don't cause insect bites or other problem.

Other options are incorrect because negative externalities are negative consequences face by the third party in a process. Comparative externality is related with comparison and pecuniary externality is increment or decrement in market price of service by action of economic actor .
