Question

A researcher finds that white bread contains more preservatives and has a higher moisture content than wheat bread. She designs a test to determine whether the type of bread, white or wheat, affects the amount of mold growth. What must be done for the researcher to accurately measure the dependent variable?

She will need to allow mold to grow for more days on the white bread, since it contains more preservatives, to measure the dependent variable.
She will need to limit the dependent variable to white bread or wheat bread.
She will need to allow mold to grow for fewer days on the white bread.

Answer 1

It's not B, just got it wrong ^^^^^^^^^

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is: SHE WILL NEEDS TO LIMIT THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE TO WHITE OR WHEAT BREAD. In research study, the dependent variable is the variable whose value depends on that of independent variable. In this question, the dependent variable is the amount of mold growth; this is because, this value depends on the type of bread used. In order to get accurate result, the researcher must use only one independent variable at a go. If she must test the two breads, she must test them separately.
