Let's say you're testing a new drug to see if it helps with depression. We'll have 200 people split into two groups of 100 each. The first 100 people get the new pill, while the remaining 100 people get a placebo (sugar pill). Each participant does not know whether they are taking the actual drug or the sugar pill. This is important.

The control group is the group of people taking the sugar pill. This is to counterbalance the experimental group that takes the actual drug. If we just had one group, say the experimental group, then we wouldn't be able to compare those results against anything else.

Now let's say that everyone, in both groups, reported better moods and more positive attitude. This would strongly imply that the new drug is not effective because people who took the sugar pill got better. In other words, the sugar pill is as effective if not more so compared to the new drug. It may be the sugar pill, the psychology of taking any pill, or some other factors that contributed to those people getting better.

If only the people in the experimental group got better, then we could conclude that the drug is effective in some way. Again, we're making a comparison between the two groups, and the control group is used to reduce the placebo effect.

Your answer would be B. He's talking about not being able to prove his age because he hasn't never seen a real record of his birth or anything else that would give him an idea of how old he is, so no real way to actually prove it.

Explanation:

Why does the Cyclops invite Odysseus back to the island?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

He realizes that Odysseus was destined to take his eye.

Explanation:

The epic narrative "The Odyssey" by Homer is about the journey of Odysseus and his men after the Battle of Troy. Their journey would lead them through encounters with mortals, gods, demons, monsters, etc. testing their very being.

In the given excerpt from the epic, the Cyclops admitted that Odysseus was destined to inflict the physical wound in his eye. He revealed, <em>". . . he foretold for time to come: my great eye lost, and at Odysseus' hands. . ."</em> But what he didn't expect was that Odysseus would be <em>"small, pitiful and twiggy"</em>. Nevertheless, he accepted his fate and invited Odysseus to come back to the island.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Discuss why unequal access to basic services amount to social injustice , discuss 3 points
Pani-rosa [81]

We can discuss it from many different points. However, since in this question we have to look at this only from 3 aspects, let's look at the cases of education, health and social security. In all cases, if people don't have an equal access to these basic services, they will face with problems. If you cannot have a proper education, you cannot get a better job and it will create financial instability in the future. If you don't have an access to the healthy services in case of food, sanitation and water, you will easily have health problems. If you don't have a social security, burglars will steal your possessions easily.
