Answer to Question 2

Developing a single, specific research idea is largely a weeding-out process. After reading for a while you're likely to have a number of research ideas, but because you can only answer one in a study, you will discard most of your initial ideas. You need to continually discard irrelevant ideas and readings, and focus on one question at a time.
