Answer :

Of course, let's go through each scenario step-by-step and identify the independent variable, dependent variable, experimental group, and control group as presented in the table.

### Scenario 1: Testing a New Dog Food
- Independent Variable: The type of food (normal diet vs. new dog food) [14]
- Dependent Variable: The dogs' weight loss [15]
- Experimental Group: The dogs on the new dog food [16]
- Control Group: The dogs on the normal diet [17]

### Scenario 2: A New Sunscreen Formula
- Independent Variable: The type of sunscreen (new formula vs. leading formula) [18]
- Dependent Variable: Skin redness [19]
- Experimental Group: Arm with the new sunscreen formula [20]
- Control Group: Arm with the leading sunscreen formula [21]

### Scenario 3: Effect of Sunlight on Plant Growth
- Independent Variable: Amount of sunlight [22]
- Dependent Variable: Plant height [23]
- Experimental Group: Plants with additional bright light at night [24]
- Control Group: Plants with normal sunlight [25]

The identified variables and groups match those in the question, providing a structured and clear understanding for each scenario's experimental design. Each number directly corresponds to its role in the experiment, ensuring clarity and precision.
