question 2 of 10
what is the difference between science and pseudoscience?
a. pseudoscience is based on observation, while science is based on empirical evidence.
b. scientific claims are biased, while pseudoscientific claims are unbiased.
c. scientific claims can be tested, while pseudoscientific claims cannot be easily tested.
d. science is done only in a laboratory, while pseudoscience is done in the field.

Explanation:

Science relies on testable hypotheses and empirical evidence. Pseudoscience often makes claims that lack the ability to be rigorously tested or verified. Option A is incorrect as both can be based on observation, and science is based on empirical evidence which includes observation but more. Option B is wrong because scientific claims strive to be unbiased through the scientific - method, while pseudoscientific claims can be highly biased. Option D is false as science is not only done in a laboratory and pseudoscience is not defined by its location.

Answer:

C. Scientific claims can be tested, while pseudoscientific claims cannot be easily tested.
