The Zero Power Rule states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. Therefore, for the expression \((-1.478)^0\):

\[ (-1.478)^0 = 1 \]

Now substitute this back into the equation:

\[ 2.3 + (-1.478)^0 = 2.3 + 1 \]

Now, calculating the sum:

\[ 2.3 + 1 = 3.3 \]

Thus, the correct response is:

3.3
