Question 1 • Biology

A testable hypothesis could be formed from which question?

Answer
A
Why are gerbils more popular as pets than hamsters are?
B
Are red tulips prettier than tulips of other colors?
C
When whales jump out of water, are they happy?
D
Are bass more active in the daytime than at night?

Explanation

A testable hypothesis makes a prediction that can be checked through observation or measurement. Bass activity can be observed during the day and at night, so the question can be tested by comparing their activity at those times. Whether tulips are “prettier” is subjective, and the other questions depend on popularity or animals’ feelings, which are harder to measure directly.
