Ex: Cloudy, R: Rainy

5. Explanatory/Response

The participants do not know whether they are taking the drug or a placebo.
Neither the participants nor the drug company executives know which volunteers are taking the drug and which the placebo.
Neither the participants nor the evaluators know which volunteers are taking the drug and which the placebo.
