Then re-think -- don't re-guess.
The answer was B. I did further research and found that Theory;hypothesis was correct. Thanks!
Excellent!
I'm sorry, but the correct answer is actually option C: hypothesis; theory.
In this context, a hypothesis refers to a proposed explanation or prediction that can be tested through research. The first statement, which suggests that students may have difficulty returning to their academic schedule after a break, is an example of a hypothesis.
On the other hand, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation or set of principles that has been repeatedly tested and confirmed through research. The second statement, which predicts that there will be more student absences on the Monday following Spring Break than on the Friday prior to Spring Break, is an example of a prediction based on the hypothesis.
Therefore, the first statement describes the hypothesis (a proposed explanation or prediction), while the second statement is the prediction (based on the hypothesis) and can contribute to the formation or support of a theory.
