Yes, the most accurate completion of the sentence is "hypothesis."
To arrive at this answer, it is important to understand the definitions of the terms provided as answer options.
- A dependent variable is a variable that is being measured or observed in an experiment, rather than being controlled or manipulated.
- An independent variable is a variable that is intentionally changed or manipulated in an experiment.
- A conclusion is a judgment or decision based on evidence or reasoning from an experiment or investigation. However, a conclusion is typically drawn at the end of the process, whereas the sentence is referring to a preliminary explanation.
- A hypothesis, on the other hand, is a tentative explanation or proposed solution to a problem or scientific question. It is an educated guess that can be further tested through investigation or experimentation. This aligns with the sentence's description of something that can be tested by further investigation or experimentation.
Therefore, "hypothesis" is the most suitable answer option to complete the sentence.
