Question

review it! which of the following supports the \why\ and \how\ scientists must answer in claim, evidence, and reasoning?
reasoning
debate
evidence
claim

Explanation:

To determine which option supports the "why" and "how" scientists answer in claim, evidence, and reasoning, we analyze each term:

• Reasoning: It involves explaining the "why" (the logic behind the claim) and "how" (the connection between evidence and claim), which aligns with the question's requirement.
• Evidence: Provides data/facts to support a claim but doesn't focus on explaining "why" or "how" the claim is supported.
• Debate: Involves arguing different viewpoints, not explaining the "why" and "how" of a claim - evidence - reasoning structure.
• Claim: Is a statement being made, not the part that explains "why" or "how".

Answer:

reasoning (the option corresponding to "reasoning")
