Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The Delphi technique has respondents independently express their thoughts through the questionnaire and return it. The nominal group technique allows all individuals to present their ideas before the entire group. The nominal group technique involves the entire group, decreases selective perception, and promotes individual cooperation with the group's decisions because people believe that they have been involved in the decision-making process.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Observation can be participatory or nonparticipatory. The participant observer assumes a working role in the agency or organization and collects data about the program while working within the group. The nonparticipant observer remains an outsider, does not assume a working role within the agency, and reviews and examines the program for designated periods.
