Scientists and nonscientists have both been interested in the moon for a long time. Which is most likely an example of pseudoscience?
observation that the moon influences ocean tides
belief that the moon influences human behavior
calculation of the distance between the earth and the moon
measurement of the mass of the moon

gold is my favorite solid.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
