Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Observation offers advantages over self-reported data from surveys and interviews. When people describe and evaluate a past experience in a survey or interview, they may not completely remember what happened, or they may want to give you the answer they believe you want to hear. Direct observation of actual behavior can give you much more accurate results.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Use reputable sources. If you use secondary sources, take responsibility to ensure that those sources are credible using the criteria of authorship, accuracy, and age. Also ensure that their information can be verified.
