Question

Many common sayings about the weather, such as "red sky at morning, sailor take warning; red sky at night, sailor’s delight," are rooted in careful observation, and are considered to be products of the scientific method. True or False?

Answer 1

Answer:

False is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Scientific method is a procedure that allows the testing of a hypothesis through strict observation and experiment. A proverb is a saying that expresses advice based on a general truth.

In the question, the phrase in quotes is a proverb, meaning that the advice stated is not exactly something that has been proved, but it could be based on personal experiences or what someone has heard before, different from the scientific method.
