"Many teachers across the country are noticing the importance of film in the modern classroom. No longer is putting a movie on meant as an invitation for students to check out while the teacher does work at their desk.

The teachers leading this charge know that teaching a film effectively means preparing lessons with the same amount of time and effort as any other day."

When a scientist wants to do an experiment, they need to follow what is called the scientific method. The scientific method structure for experimentation that ensures valid data. In using the scientific method, experimenters must first state the purpose. What is the problem or the question that they are exploring? In order to make sure the experiment is worth the time, they should then do research to see if anyone has already collected valid data on the subject. Experimenters can then use that data, and their prior knowledge, to propose a hypothesis, or a prediction of what is going to happen. Once the parameters and expectations are clearly stated, experimenters simply have to carry out the experiment, collect the data, and draw conclusions. If experimenters don’t follow this method, they risk corrupting their data and drawing inaccurate conclusions.
Which of the following statements best describes the author’s point of view?
A. Even if we don’t know it, we all use the scientific method in our everyday lives.
B. Too many experimenters blindly use the scientific method without exploring other options.
C. If an experiment doesn’t verify the hypothesis of the experimenter, it is a failure.
D. Using the scientific method is the best way to make sure your experimental data is accurate and valid.
D. Using the scientific method is the best way to make sure your experimental data is accurate and valid.
Answer choice (D) is correct because the author mentions the importance of the scientific method several times in the short passage. The author never mentions the answer choice (A) and directly refutes answer choice (B). There is no evidence from the passage that answer choice (C) is correct either.

A. SPF 30 is not enough for a fair-skinned person to wear in Europe.
B. A dark-skinned person could wear less sunblock in the UK than in Africa.
C. An olive-skinned person should wear more sunblock in the Mediterranean than in the Caribbean.
D. Children should wear less sunblock than fair skinned people while at home in the UK.
