Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The Likert scale determines the opinion or attitude of a subject and contains a number of declarative statements with a scale after each statement. A rating scale lists an ordered series of categories of a variable that are assumed to be based on an underlying continuum.
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is frequently used in health care research since it is easy to construct, administer, and score. VASs can be administered using a drawn, printed, or computer-generated 100-mm line. The research participant is asked to place a mark through the line to indicate the intensity of the sensation or stimulus. A semantic differential scale consists of two opposite adjectives with a seven-point scale between them.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Four types of translations can be performed: pragmatic translations, aesthetic-poetic translations, ethnographic translations, and linguistic translations. Pragmatic translations communicate the content from the source language accurately in the target language. The primary concern is the information conveyed. An example of this type of translation is the use of translated instructions for assembling a computer. Aesthetic-poetic translations evoke moods, feelings, and affect in the target language that are identical to those evoked by the original material. In ethnographic translations, the purpose is to maintain meaning and cultural content. In this case, translators must be familiar with both languages and cultures. Linguistic translations strive to present grammatical forms with equivalent meanings. Translating a scale is generally done in the ethnographic mode.
