Answer:
The answers are:
a. dependent
b. independent
c. test
d. control
Explanation:
In scientific research, investigations are done to study whether certain factors change while changing others, and the following terms are associated with scientific research:
a. dependent variable: These are factors or outcomes that are being investigated in a research experiment, and they are not under the direct control of the researcher. They are factors that vary as a result of other changes made in the process. In our example, the heart rate and blood pressure are proposed to vary with the type of film watched hence these factors are dependent variables.
b. independent variable: Independent variables are variables that are under the direct manipulation of the researcher, and the predetermined variation of these variables cause certain effects on the dependent variables. In our example, the type of film is the independent variable, because the researcher has complete control over the type of film watched.
c. Test group: These are the group of participants/individuals in research, who will potentially be affected by the change in the dependent variable to cause an effect that deviates from the normal. In our example, the group that views the violent film is the test group, because there is a tendency that they might have altered heart rate and blood pressure as a result of the type of film viewed.
d. control group: The control group is the group of individuals whose effects at the end of the experiments will serve as baseline effects, to serve as a means of measuring the magnitude of variation in the test group. These groups serve to eliminate any other effects that might cause similar changes as the factor being investigated in all test participants.
Answer:
B 50 1 x 106
Explanation:
The largest Island and the one that is closest to the mainland would mean that such Island would have more biodiversity. 50 km from the mainland is a considerably close distance and the largest with 1*10^6 hectares represents a huge area that would allow for more biodiversity.
Answer:
The Nepal Development Update is produced annually with two main aims: to report on key economic developments over the preceding months, placing them in a longer term and global perspective; and to examine (in the Special Focus section) topics of particular policy significance. The Update is intended for a wide audience including policymakers, business leaders, the community of analysts and professionals engaged in economic debates, and the general public.
Explanation:

For Nepal to achieve its export potential, six key priorities need to be tackled. First, Nepal will need to reform the tourism sector to meet the expected changes to demand and preferences, following the pandemic. A quick and resilient recovery of the sector could come about through investments to improve planning, conservation, and resilient infrastructure. It would also entail coordination with the private sector to upgrade skills and develop nature-based tourism that is environmentally sustainable, with potential to support jobs creation and inclusive growth. Second, to attract FDI, crucial for integration into regional and global value chains, it will be important to simplify and streamline processes for multinationals setting shop in Nepal, as well as actively engage in economic diplomacy to attract FDI. Third, modernizing export promotion will require links to digitization, simplification of processes, skills development, and incentives for exporters. Fourth, a reduction of trade costs will be critical, particularly given the country’s landlocked location and the mountainous terrain. This would entail reducing border crossing congestion through upgraded infrastructure and streamlined procedures and processes. Similarly, reducing import duties – particularly on raw materials and intermediates – is crucial to ensure exporters have access to the most efficient inputs at world prices. Fifth, investments to improve phytosanitary infrastructure will be needed for increased standards and safety of exports. Sixth, measures to boost digital trade, and e-commerce in general – could potentially be a game changer for Nepal – through adopting a robust policy framework. This would include, inter alia, efficient domestic and cross-border digital payment systems, and consumer protection and data privacy regulations aligned with international good practices.
