Question

1. what ideas have been accepted as true because they have been confirmed by experimentation?

Explanation:

• Postulates are assumed true without experimentation.
• Theories are well - substantiated explanations confirmed by repeated experimentation and observation.
• Hypotheses are tentative explanations to be tested, not yet fully confirmed.
• Razors (like Occam's Razor) are principles for problem - solving, not ideas confirmed by experimentation. So the correct option is theories.
