35.The word "It" in paragraph 3 refers to ______.A. higher attendance rates of high schools and university educationB. increasing levels of long-term partnershipsC. a woman's level of health and health awarenessD. furthering women's levels of education and advanced trainingRead the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicatethe correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that arerelated. A theoryoften involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event couldbe produced. A good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gasesare pictured as being made up of many small particles that are in constant motion.A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observations, helps to predict events that havenot as yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments totest the theory. If observations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported. Ifobservations do not confirm the predictions, the scientists must search further. There may be afault in the experiment, or the theory may have to be revised or rejected.Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information andperforming experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules HenriPoincare said: "Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection offacts cannot be called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned abouta particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part ofthe investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem areformulated. These possible solutions are called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leapinto the unknown. It extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plansexperiments, performs calculations and makes observations to test hypotheses. For withouthypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed,they are incorporated into theories.
