When using the scientific method, what should be the first step? a.) gathering information on the problem. b.) stating the problem. c.) analyzing and interpreting data.

I believe the answer would be C. Analyzing and interpreting data

because the first step is to make an observation and that answer sounds the closest,

1. Make an observation.

2. Ask a question.

3. Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation.

4. Make a prediction based on the hypothesis.

5. Test the prediction.

I hope this is helpful!

hello!

according to the passage the most suitable options are two. the first one is "by leading the aef to victory in several key battles" like the battle of saint- mihiel and the battle of cantigny mentioned in the passage you copied here. the second one is "by the aef and allied forces defeat germany" since the passage says that his army destroy the german resistance in the meuse- argonne offensive. and also, "by insisting that the aef operate as an independent force".

hope this
