Hello.

I am preparing for PTE exam. This is one of the questions I encountered in one of the practice websites. There are four possible choices for each of the blanks, I wanted to ask you as experts whether there are logical reasons for answers or not.


1st blank : assumptions, hypotheses

2nd blank: results, numbers

3rd: data. digits

4th: picture, idea


I have highlighted the correct answers and I wanted to know why the other option which I have written based on the other options the website have given are wrong in these sentences. I do understand that they are better options, but are they wrong?

  • A hypothesis is an assumption that scientists work with until they find a new and better one I'm really not sure about the fourth one.
  • Scientists - if we are talking about physicists - work toward a theory of the world and you can also say that is an idea or picture.
