According to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, how a society thinks about the world is influenced by the language that the society speaks. However, it is not clear that this hypothesis could be tested. Therefore, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis does not have a similar verifiability compared to the hypotheses of physical science.

Being able to test a hypothesis is necessary for that hypothesis to be verifiable.

It is unclear whether the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is true.

This answer is unsupported. It is too strong to say the hypothesis is “probably false.” We only know from the stimulus that the hypothesis cannot be verified. An absence of verification does not necessarily mean that something is false.

This answer is unsupported. Physical sciences were given as an example of types of hypotheses that are verifiable. It is too strong to say that only these hypotheses are verifiable.

This answer is unsupported. The linguist never discusses what types of hypotheses should be seriously considered.

This answer is strongly supported. Since we know the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is not able to be verified, we can infer that we don't know whether it is true or false.

This answer is unsupported. The linguist never discusses what types of hypotheses should be taken seriously.
