OpenStudy (chmvijay):

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

B. Scientific theories are never proven - some are proven some are not C. Scientific theories become hypotheses- sometimes but not always So D is good choice it will summarize them systematically already present in nature :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D was wrong :/ i just dont understand... sometimes i think these tests r wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was B or C cuz the first time i took the test i chose A and that was wrong apparently.

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

yaaa A is wrong did u choose D and found it was wrong now u have three options B, C , D

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

there are lots of uncertainiteis in these options its better to go with D I felt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i only have 2 which is B and C but i cant retake the test any more but i would still like to know why D was wrong. i understand why A was but i was almost positive about D? :/

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

mean D u got wrong ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes D is the wrong answer and i would like to know why?

OpenStudy (i_kyky):

Hi, I see that your question was never fully resolved. D was not correct because "a statement that summarizes a pattern found in nature" is the definition of a scientific LAW. a scientific theory is " a well tested explanation for a set of observations or experimental results."
