Placing fruit in a bag will help hasten the ripening for only a few fruits. Most fruits will not ripen (ever) once they have been picked.

that exists as a gas at biological temperatures. Thus‚ when a plant releases ethylene‚ it diffuses quite quickly in the air.

Therefore newspaper (wrapping green fruit in newspaper) is the independent variable while ripening is the dependent variable.
