Which statement best describes a valid scientific claim? A.The results of the experiment can be replicated by using any method o
f experimentation. B.The results that support the claim are replicable by other scientists who follow the same procedures. C.The claim is jointly issued from both a major university and an established government agency. D.The claim is supported by at least ten scientists in addition to the original researcher.
When a new scientific fact is discovered, before it can become acceptable to other scientists such a fact must be verified and validated. To do this, other scientists, all over the world will perform the experiments that give birth to the new scientific fact, using the same procedure that was used by the original researcher. If all the other scientists continuously arrive at the same results after performing the experiments several times, then such a fact become acceptable in the scientific community.
I think the best answer from the choices listed above is option D. A valid scientific claim is best described by the statement "<span>The claim is supported by at least ten scientists in addition to the original researcher</span>". This is because this claim is being supported by a number of experts in that certain field.
"B. Race" corrects the error in capitalization in this sentence, since "The Race to the Top" is a proper and official title, meaning the main words should be capitalized.
