Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Purposive sampling involves handpicking participants from the accessible population, which does not have to be large.
Rationale 2: Judgmental sampling is another name for purposive sampling. Purposive sampling involves handpicking participants.
Rationale 3: Snowball sampling involves accessing participants because they associate with participants previously identified by the researcher; it is a form of convenience sampling.
Rationale 4: It is in purposive or judgmental research that the researcher selects, or handpicks, elements that the researcher believes are typical of the population.
Global Rationale:
