Question

A. assessment
b. patterns
C. conclusions
d. facts

Answer 1

conclusions is my answer

Answer 2

Answer: c. conclusions

Scientists rely on the observation of phenomena in order to obtain evidence. This phenomena includes both natural and experimentally generated effects. The information that scientists obtain after observation is often presented in observation reports. However, it is important to maintain a clear distinction between the description of behaviours, and the conclusions that can be drawn from it. Failure to do so can result in other scientists being unable to replicate the experiments, or in faulty conclusions being popularized.
