Answer:

The researcher is confounding the sweetness of the cereal and the colour of the cereal.

Explanation:

Based on the results, it would be unclear if the subjects prefer the cereal because of the colour or because of the sweetness --it is only the latter the researcher wants to know about. This would be the dependent variable.

To fix this, the researcher should use the same colour for both sweetened and unsweetened cereal and have each preschooler try both. It is possible to colect data through observation (look at the children's reactions) or simply asking for their opinions at the end of the experiment.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: The disposition option appropriate for this situation is "Rethink"

Explanation: Disposition options in task achievement refers to the option or decision taken in order to maximise efficiency. Apart from the rethink option, there are also the options to (a)keep, (b)combine and (c)eliminate. Each option is specific for different situations.

In a scenario where three people are performing the same tasks using different methods and having varying outputs, it can be inferred that the task is not been done efficiently at least by two of the three people.
