3.020) which three things should scientists consider when evaluating claims?
☐ the size of the group tested
☐ whether the evidence is collected from a trustworthy source
☐ the number of times the investigation was repeated
☐ the cost of conducting the investigation

Explanation:

• 3.017: "Pretty" is a subjective description, so it is an opinion.
• 3.018: Assuming the owner is a musician based on the guitar is an inference.
• 3.019: Observing one guitar is empirical evidence.
• 3.020: The size of the group tested, whether the evidence is from a trustworthy source, and the number of times the investigation was repeated are important for scientific evaluation. Cost is not a scientific consideration.

Answer:

3.017) C. opinion
3.018) B. inference
