Question

A(n) _______ is a tentative, testable statement about the natural world that is capable of being supported or refuted by scientific evidence, whereas a(n) _______ is a well-established and highly-reliable explanation of a natural phenomenon.

A. hypothesis; opinion
B. hypothesis; theory
C. opinion; theory
D. theory; hypothesis

Answer 1

I think the correct answer is B. My reason is because a hypothesis is: "a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation." and a theory is: " a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained."
