Answer to Question 1

C
Undergraduate researchers should not study vulnerable populations (e.g., addicts), but should make use of populations of college students or other adults.

Answer to Question 2

C
Newspapers contain many unusual observations. Items that are newsworthy tend to be atypical. If a scientist is looking for the general laws of behavior, the hypotheses gained from reading newspapers are probably not good ones to test.
