Question

Consider this statement taken from a student's lab report.

Since the hypothesis was supported, I learned that butterflies are attracted to red flowers more than to yellow flowers. More research could be done to compare the relative attraction of different pairs of colors in order to figure out what the best colors are to attract butterflies.

From which section of the lab report did the above statement most likely come?
Analysis
Background Research
Conclusion
Purpose

Answer 1

Conclusion — it interprets the results (hypothesis supported), states what was learned, and suggests further research, which are elements of the conclusion section.
