Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The aim in qualitative studies is to extract the greatest possible information from a small number of people. Quantitative research, on the other hand, is concerned with measuring attributes and identifying relationships in a population, and therefore a representative sample is desirable so that the findings can be generalized. The aim of most qualitative studies is to discover meaning and to uncover multiple realities, not to generalize to a target population.
