Descartes discovers that the physical world does not exist, but because he can doubt the physicality of the world, he must exist.  

Explanation:

In the second Meditation Descartes discovers that the Physical world is not real, or does not exist as it is believed to exist in its permanence. This would imply that Descartes himself does not exist in himself, as he is part of the physical world too.

<u>This leads him to think about his doubts too. The fact that he is able to doubt this existence means that he can see that his existence cannot be doubted. </u>

His existence is thus different from his physical existence.

Then the Latin phrase was come up with that is 'cogito ergo sum' or meaning 'I think, therefore I am.'

gavmur [86]

Answer:This would be an example ofa. snowball sampling

Explanation:

A participant chooses someone else to participate on their behalf in a study or test. This happens in cases where it is not easy to fin the actual potential participants. It is called a snowball because when you roll a ball in an snpw it keeps attaching more snow until it gets bigger. The sampling is done randomly which means it is a non probability sampling

Snowball sampling consists of two steps:

The researcher will choose potential participants which are only few at the beginning. The chosen participants will recruits more participants, they don't have to give names. This recruitment goes on until the desired sample proportion is reached. The participants will only encourage others to come but that is not forced. It can be ethically challenging because subjects can be of sensitive topics

Why is Snowball Sampling Used?

In cases where a research deals with sensitive topics such as cheating, shoplifting, drug use and other deviant societal behaviours, participants may not feel comfortable to come forward. However they may suggest others in similar situation as them and be assured of confidentiality.
