Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Wildcard characters such as  or  are used in electronic databases to search for related words. An example would be that nurs typed in a database may yield results that include nurse, nurses, and nursing. A keyword is a word or phrase that captures the key concepts in your question. A textword search looks for your keyword in the text fields of the records, i.e., in the title and the abstract. Expanders is not a term related to electronic database searches.
