State True or False

The negative use of the method of agreement can be used to show that an independent variable is not sufficient for an effect. - True

The method of residues does not have a negative application. - True

With the negative application of concomitant variations, a change in the independent variable will result in a corresponding change in the effect. - True

The negative use of the method of difference shows the same thing as the standard use of the method of agreement (two negatives make a positive). - False
