Answer:

Hypothesis, fact, theory, and law.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis is an educated guess, fact is a thing that is known or proved to be true, theory is an idea used to account for a situation or justify a course of action, and law is a statement of fact, deduced from observation, to the effect that a particular natural or scientific phenomenon always occurs if certain conditions are present.
