Question 3 (5 points) Read the following passage written by a teen hero: 1. I want to be a vocal advocate for nature. 2. I reject the idea that I am too young to make a difference. 3. I recently helped a group with a river cleanup. 4. I was mortified to see the destruction of animals and plants. 5. When I got home, I composed a letter to my state politicians and asked them to allocate more money to the local river cleanup effort. 6. I believe my vocation is to help citizens see that we are at a junction. 7. We can decide to subject nature to abuse, or we can decide to be a benefactor to nature. 8. I won't let obstacles detract from my mission. What is the meaning of the word "detract" as it is used in sentence 8? (5 points) a Totoin together b To pull in the opposite direction с To make or do the opposite d To step back​

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.

i don't see a text, but i am gonna assume this *orbit* the curved path, usually elliptical, described by a planet, satellite, spaceship, etc., around a celestial body, as the sun.

air

in a tire you fill a tire with air

then a couple days later you check the air pressure in the tire

hope this mark me brainliest
