Which of the following has a scientific basis for it ?

  • A.We should not walk under a ladder.
  • B.Number thirteen is inauspicious.
  • C.Talismans and charms always bring luck.
  • D.Fridays are as good as other days.

Answer: D

The statement with a scientific basis is Fridays are as good as other days.

The passage lists believing that Friday is a bad day to start anything, walking under a ladder, sitting down thirteen at a table and buying charms for luck as superstitions. There is no evidence that any day of the week differs in luck from another, so saying all days are alike is the claim that fits observation.

The other three, avoiding a ladder, thinking thirteen is inauspicious and holding that charms always bring luck, are the superstitions the passage names.
