Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement supposes that there is a positive relationship between studying and grades, meaning that as one increases, the other also increases. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer. choices C and D are incorrect because grades cannot be independent or not dependent variables as they are the outcome being measured. Choice B is incorrect because it suggests that the more one studies, the worse their grades will be, which is not logical.
