• B) the first experiment didn't adequately answer the questions of why and how complying with the first, smaller request failed to increase compliance with the second, larger request.
• C) the first experiment involved unethical experimental practices that invalidated the findings.
• D) the second experiment was conducted to take advantage of a new interviewing technique that allowed the same experimenter to contact the subjects on both the first and second requests.
