Answer: b. the element of fear can hinder social science research.
Explanation:
The text mentions how Social Science research is hindered by fear of ridicule and used folk medicine as an example. People engaging in Folk medicine are usually denounced as quasi practitioners who's ancient and Traditional methods may do more harm than good.
This has led to them shying away from the public eye to avoid such ridicule which will be a hindrance to Social Science research that aims to explore the very same folk medical practices and show it to the world. This fear comes from the feeling that the Research will open them up to the very ridicule they are trying to avoid when it is published. This fear will therefore cause them to mainly become uncooperative with the researchers so that their methods will not be revealed because if they are not revealed, they cannot be criticised.
"A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!" This line is an example of meter from Shakespeare's play, Richard the Third. There is a rhythm to this language when spoken. It is written in perfect iambic pentameter because it has five iambs.
The correct answer is C. complex.
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Here, the independent clause is <em>Galileo, the first astronomer to use a telescope, confirmed the theory </em>and the dependent clause is <em>that the earth and planets circle the sun.
</em>A is incorrect because a simple sentence contains only one independent clause; B is incorrect because a compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses; D is incorrect because a compound-complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least two dependent ones.
