select the noun clause in each sentence. Whatever you do make sure you're home on time. Janice couldn't decide what she should m
Bond [772]

Answer: The noun clause in the first sentence is "Whatever you do", while the noun clause in the second sentence is "what she should major in at college".

Explanation: A noun clause is a dependent clause, that is to say a clause that does not express a full thought, which functions as a noun. Moreover, a noun clause is generally introduced by a relative pronoun. In the first sentence<u>, the noun clause is "Whatever you do" and it is functioning as the subject of the sentence, while in the second sentence, the noun clause is "what she should major in at college" and it is performing the function of direct object. </u>Therefore, both of them are acting as nouns.

Schmeck followed up on an article with another one titled "Critics Say Coffee Study Was Flawed." List three potential sources of
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

a) Potential Sources of confounding:

1) Pancreatic cancer patients were being compared with persons hospitalized for cancerous diseases.  Coffee may likely aggravate the pains of pancreatic cancer patients unlike other cancer patients because the latter's cancer diseases were not digestive.

2) Unintended bias was introduced by investigators in questioning patients.  The investigators asked questions on coffee drinking habits of those already hospitalized.  This biased the drinking of coffee as a predisposing factor.

3) There could be differences among men and women because of other habits.  While drinking more coffee predisposed women to cancer, according to the confounding statements, drinking even more did not have much difference in men.

Explanation:

"CRITICS SAY COFFEE STUDY WAS FLAWED" was an article in New York Times written by Harold M. Schmeck Jr. on June 30, 1981.   It attempted to critique the study of drinking coffee and its disposal to cause cancer to the drinkers.

In this article, he introduced the views of critics of the Coffee Study which was earlier published in the New England Journal of Medicine and the accompanying refutal by the researchers.
