Question

jenn and rico are now studying the overall health of bumblebees in urban (city) areas versus rural (farm) areas. their original hypothesis was that rural bumblebee populations would be healthier than urban bumblebee populations. their initial research found that the lack of humans in rural areas was more beneficial for bumblebee populations. during their observations, they gathered the data shown.

1. this data □ their original hypothesis.
2. the students should □ the data gathered.
3. this data should □ questions for the students.
4. the students should □, taking the investigation in □ direction.

research further continue to use proves disproves
the same reaffirm the original toss out
create new a different ignore the data

Explanation:

1.

The original hypothesis was rural bumblebees are healthier. The data (from observation) would either support or reject. If the data doesn't match, it disproves. So "disproves" fits as it goes against the initial hypothesis.

In scientific research, data should be used, not tossed or ignored. "continue to use" is appropriate as data is valuable for analysis and further steps.

Data in research often leads to new questions (e.g., why the result was different, other factors). "create new" matches as data should inspire new inquiries, not reaffirm old if it's disproven, or ignore.

Answer:

disproves
