Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A pilot study is developed similarly to a proposed study to test the research process before implementation of the full study. This allows for development and refinement of the research plan.
The pilot study is based on the same methodology as the bigger project; it would already have been developed conceptually.
Usually pilot studies are conducted with small sample sizes, making them difficult to generalize.
Gaps in knowledge are not identified through pilot studies.
