Question

a(n) variable may be directly affected by a manipulated variable.

factorable
dependent
manipulated
independent

Explanation:

In an experiment, the dependent variable is the one that is measured and may change in response to the manipulated (independent) variable. The term "factorable" is not relevant here. The "manipulated" and "independent" variables are the ones that are changed or controlled by the experimenter, not the ones affected by them.
