Question and options

Match the following:
List IList II
I. Exploratory Research1. To separate a fact from speculation
II. Diagnostic Research2. To test the causal relationship between two objects
III. Descriptive research3. To acquire new insights into an existing fact
IV. Hypothesis testing research4. To portray accurate characteristics of an object
V. Distinguishing research5. To determine the frequency with which something occurs
Codes:
  1. I - 5, II - 2, III - 1, IV - 3, V - 4
  2. I - 3, II - 5, III - 4, IV - 2, V - 1
  3. I - 4, II - 3, III - 2, IV - 5, V -1
  4. I - 3, II - 5, III - 2, IV - 1, V - 4

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - I - 3, II - 5, III - 4, IV - 2, V - 1
Exploratory research gains new insights (3); diagnostic research determines the frequency with which something occurs or its association (5); descriptive research portrays accurate characteristics (4); hypothesis-testing research tests causal relationships (2); distinguishing research separates fact from speculation (1). So the matching is I-3, II-5, III-4, IV-2, V-1.
