Let's say you're testing a new drug to see if it helps with depression. We'll have 200 people split into two groups of 100 each. The first 100 people get the new pill, while the remaining 100 people get a placebo (sugar pill). Each participant does not know whether they are taking the actual drug or the sugar pill. This is important.

The control group is the group of people taking the sugar pill. This is to counterbalance the experimental group that takes the actual drug. If we just had one group, say the experimental group, then we wouldn't be able to compare those results against anything else.

Now let's say that everyone, in both groups, reported better moods and more positive attitude. This would strongly imply that the new drug is not effective because people who took the sugar pill got better. In other words, the sugar pill is as effective if not more so compared to the new drug. It may be the sugar pill, the psychology of taking any pill, or some other factors that contributed to those people getting better.

If only the people in the experimental group got better, then we could conclude that the drug is effective in some way. Again, we're making a comparison between the two groups, and the control group is used to reduce the placebo effect.

The answer is actually b. explanation: lines that signify human-like characteristics: “a half a dozen kissed the eves”raindrops don’t usually ‘kiss’ anything, as it is a human action. lines that signify playfulness: “and made the gables laugh” a gable is the part of a wall that encloses a pitched roof, so it is certainly not living and cannot really laugh. this is a human characteristic and signifies playfulness.

Read the excerpt from martin luther king jr.’s "i have a dream” speech. and so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of new hampshire. let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of new york. let freedom ring from the heightening alleghenies of pennsylvania. let freedom ring from the snow-capped rockies of colorado. let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of california. but not only that: let freedom ring from stone mountain of georgia. let freedom ring from lookout mountain of tennessee. let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of mississippi. from every mountainside, let freedom ring. the most likely reason king uses allusions in this part of his speech is to share his knowledge of american geography. compare northern and southern destinations. remind listeners about small-town accountability. encourage listeners to envision freedom everywhere.
