Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Applied research involves research that is directly applicable to clinical practice.
Basic research is scientific investigation that involves the pursuit of knowledge for knowledge's sake.
Descriptive research is the exploration of phenomena in real-life situations.
Phenomenological research would not investigate this type of research question.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Control involves the imposing of rules by the researcher to decrease the possibility of error and thus increase the probability that the study's findings are an accurate reflection of reality.
Data are collected from the sample, however, the sample is created.
Random sampling does not alone establish an experimental study.
Manipulation is when the researcher makes changes in the treatment received by the subjects.
