Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Survey research uses a predetermined list of questions, also known as a survey instrument, to collect a structured set of information from a selected audience. Surveys allow you to compare the number of participants who respond in specific ways.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
