Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The primary advantage of single-subject research is that it makes it possible to demonstrate a cause-and-effect relationship with only one participant. This makes single-subject designs very compatible with clinical and applied research. In addition, most single-subject designs are very flexible in that the study can be changed in mid-course in response to the participant's behavior. Again, this is compatible with clinical practice. The two major disadvantages of single-subject research is that the studies have limited external validity (with only one participant) and there are no objective statistical methods for evaluating results.
