Question

select the correct answer. which sentence is a scientific statement? a. long hair looks better than short hair. b. brick structures insulate better than wooden structures. c. milkshakes should always be sweetened with honey. d. there is a large, apelike creature living in the himalayas.

Explanation:

A scientific statement is one that can be tested and verified through empirical evidence or scientific methods.

• Option A is a matter of personal opinion about appearance, not testable scientifically.
• Option B can be tested by measuring the insulation properties of brick and wooden structures, making it a scientific statement.
• Option C is a matter of personal preference or recommendation, not a scientific claim.
• Option D is an unsubstantiated claim (about a yet - unverified creature) and not a scientific statement as it lacks empirical evidence to support it.

Answer:

B. Brick structures insulate better than wooden structures.
