Answer:

During Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days where he was tempted by Satan, but successfully resisted. Traditionally, Christians will give up something such as social media, sugar, and other temptations. This is to replicate Jesus' resistance to Satan's temptations. Lent is marked by fasting, both from food and festivities. Sundays in Lent are not counted in the forty days because each Sunday represents a "mini-Easter." This is why you will see the designation "Sunday in Lent" rather than "Sunday of Lent" in the naming of these Sundays.

The control experiment/group is the group that is not altered and used to measure the experimental group. The control group is the 50 children that took nutritious breakfast while the experimental group is the 50 children that took doughnuts /non nutritious food. If there are more than two types of experiment, the number of experiment types are the number of levels of the independent variable. The dependent variable here has 0 levels
