Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Feedback:
Hypotheses cannot prove relationships between variables. They can emerge from a theory, offer direction and suggest explanations for relationships, and reduce the possibility that false results will be misinterpreted.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Compare is the least likely to demonstrate a bias on the part of the researcher and is associated with quantifiable variables and designs with scientific controls. The verbs in the purpose statement should connote objectivity. A statement of purpose indicating that the study goal was to prove, demonstrate, or show something suggests bias.
