Answer to Question 1

B
Results should not be interpreted in a way that is not consistent with the data analysis. A nonsignificant result should be interpreted to mean that it is likely that chance alone could have caused the results.

Answer to Question 2

D
Results either are significant or they are not. The alpha level may not be changed after the fact to suit the data.
