Question

A scientist claims that Fabric A is better able to resist fire than Fabric B.

Which option describes an experiment that will produce evidence that will
support or refute her claim?
O A. Make detailed measurements of each type of fabric to determine
the thickness of their fibers.
B. Measure how long it takes for a specific amount of Fabric A to
burn up completely.
O C. Hold each type of fabric over a candle flame and time w long it
takes for the fabric to start to burn.
O D. Combine Fabric A and Fabric B and measure the temperature at
which they start to burn.

Answer 1

A scientist claims that Fabric A is better able to resist fire than Fabric B.

option describes an experiment that will produce evidence that will support or refute her claim is:

C. Hold each type of fabric over a candle flame and time w long it.

Answer 2

The answer is C.

The question is asking you to find an option that "supports" or "refutes" her claim. In option C, you have to hold the fabrics above a candle to see how long it will take to burn. This way of proving her hypothesis can either go good or bad (support that Fabric A resists better or refute her claim and Fabric B resists fire better).

Best of Luck!
