Question

question 8 of 10
a specimen collection helps a scientist do an experiment by:
a. providing access to objects that are hard to find.
b. substituting a good hypothesis with an even better one.
c. indicating the most appropriate measurement tool
d. delivering the most exciting information of the previous day.

Explanation:

A specimen collection is a group of samples (specimens) of organisms or other objects. Scientists often need specific specimens for experiments. Some specimens can be rare or difficult to obtain in the natural environment at the exact time of the experiment. A specimen collection allows scientists to have these objects readily available. Option B is incorrect because a specimen collection doesn't substitute hypotheses. Option C is wrong as a specimen collection isn't about indicating measurement tools. Option D is not relevant as it has nothing to do with delivering daily exciting information.

Answer:

A. providing access to objects that are hard to find.
