Explanation:

• Evidence: In an investigation, evidence refers to the data that is gathered. So “evidence” matches with “data gathered in an investigation” (F).
• Opinion: An opinion is a personal belief or feeling about something. So “opinion” matches with “a personal belief or feeling about something” (E).
• Empirical evidence: Empirical evidence is evidence that can be measured or observed directly. So “empirical evidence” matches with “evidence that can be measured or observed directly” (B).
• Claim: A claim is a statement that expresses an idea or belief. So “claim” matches with “a statement that expresses an idea or belief” (A).
• Evaluate: To evaluate means to look at something carefully to judge how good or valuable it is. So “evaluate” matches with “to look at something carefully to judge how good or valuable it is” (D).
• Model: A model shows how something works or what something looks like. So “model” matches with “shows how something works or what something looks like” (G).
• Limitation: A limitation is something that keeps a model from being exactly like the thing it represents. So “limitation” matches with “something that keeps a model from being exactly like the thing it represents” (C).
