Answer 1

A science fair project showed that the earthworms move away from the light. This statement should be classified as a conclusion. A conclusion is the opinion or judgment one will reach after everything has been considered. Since the earthworms did move away from the light, it wouldn't be an inference, a hypothesis, or a prediction. It becomes a fact that they did move. The correct answer is D.
