If you were running your own country, which energy resource would you choose for generating electricity? Think about cost, availability, safety, reliability, etc. Please explain your choice in 3-5 sentences

See explanation

Explanation:

If I am running my country, I will go for biomass as an energy resource. Biomass is cheap and readily available. The use of biomass in electricity generation is largely safe and reliable; it even ensures a clearer environment!

Biopower plants burn biomass directly to produce high-pressure steam which is now used to drive a turbine generator to generate electricity. Biomass will always be available at almost no cost hence it offers an inexpensive energy resource for electricity generation.

- "the choice that is not an indicator of a chemical change is "state of matter changes". more common than not, chemical reactions produce energy in the form of light or heat. along with energy, they also produce a new substance called the product that could be in any state of matter (solid, gas, or liquid)."

1. the question asks the most appropriate, which seems to rule out "all of the above." your choice appears to be the correct one.

2. the protocol described is good for identifying correlation, but not cause and effect. for cause/effect, you need to devise a protocol that will assign the treatment (or not) to groups that have essentially the same "demographics" with respect to all the other variables. your choice regarding control group seems appropriate. random assignment of treatment (choice d) may be appropriate also. (i think you can argue that b and d are just different descriptions of the same method.)

3. d will randomize the birds, but may not guarantee there are 10 in each group. e will do both, so seems the better choice.

comment on question 2

based on the problem statement, it seems clear that confident, attentive drivers are more likely to use daytime running lights. so, the protocol might need to be devised in such a way that the lights would be turned on or off without the driver's knowledge. (an attentive driver will figure it out.) assigning a confident, attentive driver to a group required to drive without running lights might mess with his/her confidence and attentiveness. you don't want your experiment to do that. (nor do you want the experiment to subject a driver to greater risk of accident as a consequence of driving without running lights.) experiments involving human safety are always problematic.
