8 points Imagine that you have a syringe full of air. The mouth of the syringe is
closed so air cannot escape. Initially the volume of air inside the syringe is
50 mL and the pressure 1 atm. What would be the pressure, if you reduce
the volume to 40 mL by pushing the plunger?

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
