Answer:

a) Potential Sources of confounding:

1) Pancreatic cancer patients were being compared with persons hospitalized for cancerous diseases.  Coffee may likely aggravate the pains of pancreatic cancer patients unlike other cancer patients because the latter's cancer diseases were not digestive.

2) Unintended bias was introduced by investigators in questioning patients.  The investigators asked questions on coffee drinking habits of those already hospitalized.  This biased the drinking of coffee as a predisposing factor.

3) There could be differences among men and women because of other habits.  While drinking more coffee predisposed women to cancer, according to the confounding statements, drinking even more did not have much difference in men.

Explanation:

"CRITICS SAY COFFEE STUDY WAS FLAWED" was an article in New York Times written by Harold M. Schmeck Jr. on June 30, 1981.   It attempted to critique the study of drinking coffee and its disposal to cause cancer to the drinkers.

In this article, he introduced the views of critics of the Coffee Study which was earlier published in the New England Journal of Medicine and the accompanying refutal by the researchers.

ValentinkaMS [17]

The correct answer is sympathetic.


If you read Beowulf, you will see that Grendel is a vicious monster who doesn't care about humanity at all - people are there just for him to eat. On the other hand, if you read Grendel, you will see what happened from his point of view - that he is not just a brainless beast, and that he has thoughts and feelings.

A political writer who writes statements and speeches for the president or another important figure is an example of a professional writer.

<h3>What challenges does the writer face?</h3>

Persuasive writing is, in my opinion, the most difficult sort of writing for a professional writer in this area. This writer must persuade people from all political and non-political parties that their candidate is the best fit for the people and the nation.

Of course, not everyone will agree with this person's viewpoints, but it is that person's responsibility to persuade everyone. That is why I believe persuasive writing is the most difficult professional writing a person can accomplish.
