Question

Although your sister is not a scientist, she says that she uses scientific techniques in her everyday life. You do not believe her but she insists it is true. Which of the following examples could she use to best persuade you? She put some tomatoes in the sun and some in the shade to see if the sun causes them to ripen faster T/F

Answer 1

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

As per the context given in the question, she(sister) would best use this experiment of 'putting the tomatoes in sun and shade to compare the results' to persuade me as this experiment attempts to support her claim logically that establishes the credibility of her claim and compels me as an audience to accept and believe her claim. She employs the 'experimental' research method to show the consequences of manipulation of an independent variable('sun') on the dependent variable 'tomatoes' to observe its impact(ripening) and reach a valid and authentic conclusion. Therefore, my sister would persuade me even though she's not a scientist as this experiment substantiates her claim reasonably. Thus, the given assertion is true.
