Gould always used the Dale-Chall readability formula, which accounts for words that can be understood by fourth-grade children. 5.Gould thought visual rhetoric such as portrayed in this image Options was proof of the value of images. was proof of the value of images that science had forgotten. was proof of the value of images that science had forgotten but that could be misleading because a better metaphor for evolution would be an evolutionary tree with endless geometric properties. was proof of fascism in science. 6. Which of the science popularizations would you defend as most effective in communicating science?
