hi Ms.Sue please help!! i'm not sure if my answer is correct.

A. ways scientific theories become scientific laws
B. ways scientists communicate results
C. ways science influence society****
D. ways scientific hypothesis theories are tested
I agree.
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the given information. The passage mentions that "several studies linking cigarette smoke to health problems have resulted in the banning of smoking in many public places."
Now, let's look at the answer choices:
A. Ways scientific theories become scientific laws: This answer choice does not directly connect to the given information. The passage does not mention anything about scientific theories becoming scientific laws.
B. Ways scientists communicate results: This answer choice is not entirely accurate. While it is true that scientists communicate their research findings, the passage specifically highlights the outcome of the studies (the banning of smoking in public places), rather than how scientists communicated their results.
C. Ways science influences society: This answer choice aligns with the information provided in the passage. The studies on the health problems associated with cigarette smoke have influenced society by leading to the banning of smoking in many public places.
D. Ways scientific hypothesis theories are tested: This answer choice is partially relevant, as the studies mentioned in the passage could be seen as testing scientific hypotheses and theories. However, it does not capture the main focus of the passage, which is how the results of these studies have impacted society.
Based on the analysis, the most appropriate answer is C. Ways science influences society, as it accurately reflects the connection between the studies on cigarette smoke and the ban on smoking in public places.
