Answer 2

Answer:

C. demonstrate that a particular definition of science is overly inclusive

Explanation:

Answer C

Correct. The authors note that the definition of science as “an organized body of knowledge” would imply that cookbooks, catalogues, and telephone books—all organized bodies of knowledge—are forms of science, “which they are not.” This indicates that the authors mention these different texts to show that the aforementioned definition of science is too inclusive; that is, it applies to types of knowledge that should not be considered scientific.
