Question

the development of a new experimental method is most likely to change a theory if it makes it possible to analyze samples when they are frozen. perform the experiment in a different lab. obtain and analyze results more quickly. study a larger sample size than before.

Explanation:

To determine which option makes a new experimental method most likely to change a theory, we analyze each:

• Analyzing frozen samples (first option) is a specific condition, not necessarily changing a theory.
• Performing in a different lab (second option) relates to location, not theory change.
• Faster results (third option) improves efficiency but not necessarily the scope of data to challenge a theory.
• Studying a larger sample size (fifth option) allows for more comprehensive data, which can reveal new patterns or inconsistencies, making it more likely to change a theory as larger samples can provide stronger evidence or uncover flaws in existing theories.

Answer:

E. study a larger sample size than before.
