Answer to Question 1

Hypotheses must have two important characteristics: they should be causal, and they should be testable. First, implicitly or explicitly, hypotheses posit causal relationships between attributes and outcomes. Secondly, hypotheses must also be testable. It is not enough to simply seek out and find evidence that supports the hypothesized connection between cause and effectcomparativist s must also account for discrepancies. For this reason, hypothesis must also be falsifiable so that they allow for the possibility that the hypothesized relationship can be shown to be incorrect, through observation.

Answer to Question 2

D
