    Explanation
    The question asks if the second group of participants were asked about the speed of the cars when they hit each other in experiment 2. The answer is false because the question does not provide any information about what the second group of participants were asked in experiment 2. Therefore, it cannot be determined if they were asked about the speed of the cars or not.

    Correct Answer
    A. Response bias
    Explanation
    The sentence "The way the question was asked can influence the answer given" could be a conclusion for experiment 1 because it suggests that the manner in which the question was presented had an impact on the participants' responses. This implies that there may have been a response bias in the experiment, where the participants' answers were influenced by the way the question was framed.
