There is nothing inherent in the nature of a large quadruped well-suited for long-distance running that requires us to call this creature a "horse." This illustrates the linguistic design feature of arbitrariness

Explanation:Arbitrariness : No resemblance between the language signal and the thing that it represents. It means there is no connection or relationship between the linguistic forms and the meaning e.g when we pronounce the word house, it has nothing to do with the shape of the house.In animal communication, there is often a strong recognizable link between the actual signal and the message an animal wishes to convey.In human language, there is no link whatsoever between the signal and the message.There is no intrinsic connection between, for example the word elephant and the animal it symbolizes.

The scientific method is a systemic process followed by the scientists and research to solve a problem or to test a hypothesis or observation if its true or not. The scientific method involves the various steps namely observation, gathering knowledge, making hypothesis, conducting experiment, analyzing or interpreting the results, and making conclusion.

These 2 steps are the main steps of a scientific method is the collection of the result and interpretation of the result are essential for the experiment to be performed and to test the hypothesis by the scientific methods.

Thus, the correct answer is -  observation, gathering knowledge, making hypothesis, conducting experiment, analyzing or interpreting the results, and making conclusion.
