Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Notation for MM research often designates priorityall capital letters for the dominant strand and all lower-case letters for the nondominant strandand sequence. An arrow is used for sequential designs, and a + is used for concurrent designs. Parentheses show an embedded structure. QUAL + QUAN, for example, is a concurrent design (only one phase) in which neither strand is dominant; QUAN(qual) shows a qualitative strand embedded in a quantitative study.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
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. When a hypothesis or model is supported by multiple and complementary types of data, researchers can be more confident about their inferences. Hypothesis testing and theory generation are standard features of research and not unique to the integration of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Methodologic research entails investigations of the methods for conducting rigorous research.
