In the seventeenth century, physicians and other scientists did not routinely perform autopsies. which statement best illustrates the cause and effect? physicians did not have the tools to do autopsies; therefore, they were not able to practice their surgical skills on the dead. at this time, it was considered culturally unacceptable to deface the dead; therefore, physicians did not know much about internal anatomy. physicians were not curious about the inside of the human body; therefore, they did not investigate after death. at this time, disease was rampant; therefore, physicians were hesitant to cut into the dead for fear of catching the disease that killed the person.

The correct statement which best illustrates the cause and effect is:

“At this time, it was considered culturally unacceptable to deface the dead; therefore, physicians did not know much about internal anatomy.”

Due to tradition and religious belief, and moral reasons, it was considered to be a sin to do experimentations with the dead. And because of that, there were only few knowledge about internal organs and internal diseases back then. 

this null effect is caused by a weak manipulation and ineffective internal validity. in a scientific study, as the one dr. morimoto is trying to perfom, internal validity refers to the confidence placed in the cause-effect relationship and to how well an experiment is done and able to eliminate confounding variables.        

are there actual statements because if not my answer would be: that using the five senses the author can create a sense of worth in an object to appeal to the reader and create meaning.
