Question

Scientific laws are ....
a. not applicable in all situations
b. explanations offered of specific relationships
c. descriptions of specific relationships
d. non observable phenomenon

Answer 1

First, clearly science offers explanations/descriptions of observable phenomenon. So kill D immediately.
Laws don't offer explanations but offer descriptions. So kill B. What do you think?

Remember a law describes things: I observe that when a happens, b happens
A theory explains why: A must be doing such and such because b does this when I do that.

Answer 2

C !?!

Answer 3

I would honestly say this should be multiple response, not multiple choice. Because both A and C are really not incorrect. They apply under certain circumstances. IE: if you start changing things around the law may not still apply. Because they apply under certain circumstances they are really descriptions of specific relationships.

A and C.

One may be MORE correct than the other though, but I think it's nebulous. Someone may be able to chime in.
