Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The three levels of theory relevant to evaluation are scientific theories, implementation models, and program theories. The other choices are either not theories or are specific theories, not levels of theory.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Evaluation is concerned with the goals of a specific program, whereas research focuses on a specific scientific hypothesis. There are also fewer stakeholders in research than in evaluation. The scope of research is limited, whereas evaluation has a much broader scope. There are many components in evaluation that cannot be easily put into one category.
