6. When Mrs. Kosich saw Ralph walk into her clothing store, she greeted him by name. Mrs. Kosich took Ralph by the arm and led him to a table stacked with new sweaters. Soon she was holding up a red sweater and nodding her head and smiling. Ralph, who had come in only for a pair of socks, started nodding his head along with her. "Not bad," he said, as he reached for his wallet. What inference can you make from the fact that Mrs. Kosich greets Ralph by name?  

Explanation

The inference that can be made from the fact that Mrs. Kosich greets Ralph by name is that Mrs. Kosich already knows Ralph. The text suggests familiarity between Mrs. Kosich and Ralph, as she greets him warmly and even leads him directly to a product she thinks he might like. The other options—guessing his name, Ralph wearing a name tag, or Ralph being her son—are less likely based on the context provided.

7. People are always less happy to accept scientific data they feel contradicts their preconceived beliefs. No surprise here; no human likes to be wrong. But science isn't supposed to care about preconceived notions. Science, at least good science, tells us about the world as it is, and not as some wish it to be. Sometimes what science finds is consistent with a particular religion's wishes. But usually it is not.

Explanation

The explanation for the given correct answer is that science is based on concrete results obtained through testing the hypothesis. This means that scientific findings are not based on preconceived beliefs or wishes, but rather on empirical evidence and experimentation. Good science relies on rigorous testing and analysis to arrive at reliable conclusions about the world as it is, regardless of personal beliefs or desires. This explanation aligns with the statement in the passage that "Science, at least good science, tells us about the world as it is, and not as some wish it to be."
