Answer:

C. unpleasant

Explanation:

The word "odious" resembles the word "unpleasant" in meaning, as it refers to something that inspires hate. However, if you do not know the meaning of a word, it is always a good strategy to look at the context of the sentence. In this sentence, we learn that "odious" refers to heavy housework, and in particular actions such as washing linen, carrying slops and water. All of these are likely to be unpleasant activities.

Discuss how learning about confirmation bias has contributed to your growth as a learner and researcher.
Oksanka [162]

Learning about confirmation biases has allowed me to avoid this common logical flaw in my thinking when conducting research. It prevents me from looking for information that only supports my hypothesis when conducting a literature review or deriving conslusions from my paper. In the early stages of research, for example, I do not only look for information that can support my preexisting beliefs or hypothesis, but rather I search for articles that provides a more enriching an objective information about the subject matter. In addition, In the late stage f a research paper, conclusions are derived based on objective evidence and not on preexisting beliefs.
