Question

doing science: measure and know news: science scene until about three hundred years ago, people who studied nature were called natural philosophers. they were mostly thinkers. they did not run experiments. lets say that you lived during that time. if youd wanted to know what cold was, you wouldnt have set up a lab and started studying ice. instead, you might have thought about how cold and hot climates change a persons ideas or health. you wouldnt have measured cold to figure out what it was. the idea would have been unheard of. why? there were no instruments for measuring back then. but then, in the seventeenth century in europe, there was a change. natural philosophy came under attack. a group scientific instruments help scientists find evidence and build new theories, or ideas, about nature. question 5 5 / 8 which information is not in the passage? a. how the study of science has changed b. what types of questions scientists ask c. how experiments are used in science d. what happened to natural philosophers submit extras

Explanation:

The passage mentions natural philosophers (thinkers who didn’t run experiments) and a shift in science (seventeenth-century change), so A is implied. It contrasts past (no experiments) with later use of instruments, so C is covered. It notes natural philosophy came under attack but doesn’t state what happened to the philosophers themselves. No info on types of questions scientists ask, but wait—check again: the passage doesn’t mention B (types of questions) either? Wait no, the question is which is NOT in the passage. Wait, let’s recheck: The passage talks about how science changed (A: from natural philosophers to experimental), how experiments are used (C: instruments help find evidence), but it doesn’t mention what happened to natural philosophers (D) or what questions scientists ask (B)? Wait no, the visible passage doesn’t include B (types of questions) or D? Wait no, the question is which is NOT present. Wait, the passage says natural philosophy came under attack but doesn’t specify what happened to the philosophers (D). It doesn’t mention the types of questions scientists ask (B). Wait, but let’s confirm: The options are A to D. The passage implies A (change from natural philosophers to experimental), C (experiments use instruments), but B (types of questions) and D (what happened to natural philosophers) are not present? Wait no, the question is which is NOT in the passage. Wait, the correct answer is B? No, wait the passage doesn’t mention B (types of questions) or D? Wait no, let’s see: The passage says natural philosophers were thinkers who didn’t run experiments, then a change in the seventeenth century. It doesn’t say what happened to the natural philosophers (D) or what questions scientists ask (B). But wait, the question is which is NOT in the passage. Wait, the correct answer is B? No, wait the visible passage doesn’t include B. Wait, no—the correct answer is B? Wait no, let’s think again: The passage doesn’t mention the types of questions scientists ask (B), so B is not in the passage.

Answer:

B. What types of questions scientists ask
