Explanation:

Question 7

• For the option "Both are affected by beliefs": Observations should be objective and not affected by beliefs, while opinions can be. So this is incorrect.
• For "Scientists use both in their conclusions": Scientists rely on objective observations, not opinions, in conclusions. So this is incorrect.
• For "Observations are made through the scientific process and opinions are not": Observations follow the scientific method (systematic, objective), while opinions are personal views without such a process. This is correct.
• For "Standards are used in developing opinions, not observations": Standards (like scientific methods) are used in observations, and opinions don't use such standards. So this is incorrect.

• "to find cause - and - effect relationships": While evidence and reasoning can help, this is more about experimental design and analysis, not the primary use of evidence and reasoning in defending conclusions.
• "to find patterns in data": Finding patterns is part of data analysis, but the main use of evidence and reasoning is to support and defend conclusions.
• "to defend their conclusions": Scientists use evidence (data, results) and reasoning (logical connections) to justify their conclusions to the scientific community. This is correct.
• "to create graphs and charts": Creating graphs and charts is a way to present data, not the use of evidence and reasoning.

Answer:

Observations are made through the scientific process and opinions are not.
