The research is always
Question and options
The research is always
- verifying old knowledge, exploring new knowledge and confirming popular belief
- exploring new knowledge, filling gaps in knowledge and supporting the sponsor's views
- verifying old knowledge, filling gaps in knowledge and ignoring existing literature
- verifying old knowledge, exploring new knowledge and filling gaps in knowledge
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - verifying old knowledge, exploring new knowledge and filling gaps in knowledge
Research may verify existing knowledge, explore new knowledge and fill gaps in what is known, so it covers all three of these aims together. Each other option swaps one of them for something research is not meant to do: confirming popular belief, supporting the sponsor's views, or ignoring existing literature.
