Answer to Question 1

D
Certain complex relationships between variables cannot be discovered if there are only two levels of the independent variable; for example if responding increases at first and later declines with increasing levels of the independent variable, at leas three levels would be needed to demonstrate the relationship.

Answer to Question 2

A
The number of treatments in the one factor repeated measures design is similar to the number of groups in the one factor between subjects design. Both are represented by the symbol k.
