Question

ethical rules help ensure that science is done ____ and that scientific knowledge is ____.
a accurately, abundant
b safely, reliable
c thoroughly, accurate
d quickly, accessible

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "abundant" for scientific knowledge doesn't fit well with ethical rules' purpose. Ethical rules don't aim to make knowledge abundant.
• Option b: Ethical rules ensure science is done safely (protecting participants, environment) and that scientific knowledge is reliable (by ensuring proper methods, avoiding fraud, etc.). This makes sense.
• Option c: "thoroughly" is not the primary focus of ethical rules. Ethical rules are more about safety, integrity, not just thoroughness.
• Option d: "quickly" is not a goal of ethical rules, and "accessible" is not directly related to ethical conduct in science.

Answer:

b. safely, reliable
