Will notices that crickets seem to chirp more frequently at night in june than they do in october. he asks himself, "how do temperature changes affect how often crickets chirp"? if he were to perform an experiment, which of these statements would be the best hypothesis?
a)
crickets are inactive in october.
b)
do crickets like warm weather better than cold weather?
c)
crickets chirp more frequently as temperature increases.
d)
crickets chirp for many reasons, and temperature is probably one reason.

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In June, it is known that temperature is more hotter than as compared to temperature in October.

Therefore, due to the increase in temperature crickets move out of their initial place and hence they chirp. Whereas in October temperature is less so, crickets prefer to stay at their initial place and doesn't chirp.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement crickets chirp more frequently as temperature increases would be the best hypothesis.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
