Question 3

To distinguish science from non - scientific disciplines, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Science uses observation, measurement, and experimentation (scientific method) to gain knowledge. This is a key characteristic of science.
• Option 2: Experimental results in science are not fixed; they can be revised with new evidence.
• Option 3: Science cannot answer all questions about the natural world (e.g., ethical or philosophical questions).
• Option 4: Science does not rely on anecdotal evidence; it needs verifiable data.

• Science: Is based on evidence - based, testable knowledge. The idea about whistling and bad luck is not scientific.
• Mathematics: Deals with numbers, shapes, etc., not such superstitious ideas.
• Biology: Studies living organisms, not related to this superstitious belief.
• Pseudoscience: Consists of beliefs or practices presented as scientific but lacking scientific method. The idea of whistling being bad luck is a superstitious belief, so it comes from pseudoscience.

Answer:

Science relies on observation, measurement, and experimentation.
