Question 7 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

Which statement correctly contrasts science and pseudoscience?

Answer
A
Science is objective, whereas pseudoscience is subjective.
B
Science lacks a process for collecting data, whereas pseudoscience relies on collecting data.
C
Pseudoscience is constantly updated, whereas science does not change based on new information.
D
Pseudoscience is published in academic journals, whereas science appears mostly on the Internet.

Explanation

Science uses evidence and systematic methods to test claims, aiming for conclusions that do not depend on personal opinions. Pseudoscience often relies more on subjective beliefs or interpretations rather than rigorous, testable evidence. Therefore, the correct statement is “Science is objective, whereas pseudoscience is subjective.” Science can change when new evidence emerges, so choice C reverses the facts.
