Solution
-
The finding that would most directly support the researchers' hypothesis is: "The pH levels of otherwise similar lakes in Alabama that do not receive as much runoff from farmland as Guntersville Lake does fluctuated less than the pH of Guntersville Lake did in the same period." This supports the hypothesis because it suggests a correlation between the amount of agricultural runoff and the fluctuation in pH levels.
-
The finding that would most directly support the claim made in the text is: "Many participants, who volunteered to take non-deceptive placebos, reported relief from symptoms after taking them." This supports the claim because it shows that even when people know they are taking a placebo, their belief in its healing power can still lead to symptom relief.
-
The quotation from "In an Artist's Studio" that most effectively illustrates the claim is: "Not as she is, but was when hope shone bright; / Not as she is, but as she fills his dream." This quote illustrates the claim because it shows that the artist is focused on the model's past beauty and idealized image, rather than her current state of sorrow.
