Answer to Question 1

B
Assault concerns the threat to touch (or treat) another person without her permission, while battery is
the actual act of touching or treating another person without her permission.

Answer to Question 2

B
Descriptive research studies have as their main objective the accurate portrayal of the characteristics of
people, situations, or groups, and the frequency with which certain phenomena occur. Comparative
research specifies the type of comparisons. Correlation research explores the interrelationships among
variables of interest without any active intervention on the part of the researcher. Research utilization
is the use of some aspect of a research or scientific investigation in an application unrelated to the
original research.
