Explanation / Answer

1. the natural philosophy of aristrotle is mechanistic -mechanistic only natural forces govern living things along with the rest of universe ,so option a is correct

2. a person who believes that universe is at least controlled by supernatural powers can be described as vitalist ,option b is correct

3. the first step in scientific method is to observe carefully ,so option C is correct .

4. which series of letter first is option c is correct . c,a,b,d

5. option b is correct , control group.

6. option b , controlled is kept same .

7. option d , both dependent and independent variable are kept different .

8. option d , should be repeated by investigators and other investigators also .

9. option c , scientific journel

10 option d , do all these ,testing new drugs, effectiveness of herbicides , waste discharge on aquatic organism
