Sydney Wagner · Answer 1

Paradigm

Explanation:

A theory is a set of statements that purport to say something about the way the world works. A theory that stands the test of time and becomes the basis for a field of study is known as paradigm. It provides the background or the frame that allows a theory to be tested and measured.

Jayson Clements · Answer 2

A working theory

Explanation:

It's name defines it for itself, and also the other three options are not appropriate: conclusion is the result of a logical process, hypothesis is the premises one wants to test in an experiment, and paradigm is more ample than just a working theory, since it encompasses the set of all methods, standards, concepts and thoughts associated with a particular field of research.
