Question

which of the following statements is true based on the limitations of science?
science can help you make moral decisions
science only deals with things that can be observed.
science can help me determine what color i should paint my room
science can confirm or reject the idea of life on other planets

Explanation:

• For "Science can help you make moral decisions": Moral decisions involve values, ethics, and philosophy, not scientific observation/experimentation, so this is false.
• For "Science only deals with things that can be observed": A key limitation of science is that it relies on empirical (observable, testable) phenomena. Unobservable concepts (like some metaphysical ideas) are outside its scope, so this is true.
• For "Science can help me determine what color I should paint my room": Room color choice is personal preference/aesthetic, not a scientific matter, so this is false.
• For "Science can confirm or reject the idea of life on other planets": While science investigates, currently we can't fully confirm/reject due to lack of direct observable evidence (limitation), so this is false.

Answer:

B. Science only deals with things that can be observed.
