Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Feedback:
Qualitative and quantitative approaches are complementary. By using mixed methods, researchers can possibly avoid the limitations of a single approach. Triangulation of methods can provide opportunities for testing alternative interpretations of the data, and for examining the extent to which the context helped to shape the results. The complexity of a problem may require the use of both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Mixed methods research is effective for many, but not all, studies.

B
