Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: This statement about the Internet is accurate: Data collection is automated, allowing the data to be exported to other programs more easily. E-mails may provide useful information. Ethical issues do remain a concern, especially those regarding privacy and confidentiality; human subjects must still be protected. Selection bias is another factor that limits the generalizability of results. This is because the Internet population is nonrepresentative; open surveys conducted via the Web get volunteer participants and not all potential participants have Internet access.
