Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A researcher's job is to translate abstract constructs into plausible and meaningful proxies. Another major job concerns efforts to eliminate, reduce, or control biases through rigorous study methods. Researchers do not design rigorous study methods to prevent inferences, rejection of the null hypothesis, and the process of internal audit.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Study results from statistical analyses are summarized in the Results section of a research article. Researchers present their interpretations of the results in Discussion section. An inference is the act of drawing conclusions based on limited information, using logical reasoning. Conclusions may be presented in the Discussion section or in a separate section, but not in the Results section.
