Question 2

Right after the law is passed, officials repeat the observational study for another six months. Which of the following is true about the design of this study?
   
 a. it is an interrupted time series design

   c. without a control group, there is no way to evaluate trends with this design
   d. because there are multiple observations this would qualify as a regression discontinuity design
