  b. the questions on Nancy's survey probably were not phrased well enough to collect accurate data
   c. it is known that participants in research like to present themselves as positively as possible, so students that cheated probably lied and did not report their cheating on the survey
  d. Nancy's survey was confounded by being too demanding

Question 2
