Answer:
D. people's acceptance of ruler's authority
Explanation:
In a democracy, the legitimacy of a ruler depends directly on the acceptance of the people who elected him or her. The ruler has the autonomy and authority to make decisions that represent the people, but he or she is only a representative, the legal power emanating from the people.
<u>Based on the information, Dr. Germain's test</u> appears to have proved that high-school seniors' scores on the test and high scores in their freshman gpas one year later are two events that tend to happen together (75 out of every 100 times). This is the furthest conclusion that can be interpreted from a correlation coefficent.
<u>But correlation does not imply causality</u>, so he cannot predict with these results that those who got senior scores in high school will perform as good (and better than others) when they become freshmen.
a. classical conditioning.
