Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
In literature reviews, methodological features of the studies under review need to be assessed with an eye to answering a broad question: To what extent do the findings reflect the truth (the true state of affairs) or, conversely, to what extent do flaws undermine the believability of the evidence? The truth is most likely to be discovered when researchers use powerful designs, good sampling plans, high-quality data collection procedures, and appropriate analyses.
