Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Unstructured interviews use broad questions and do not focus on research control of the interview content.
With extremely large samples, unstructured interviews are impractical.
If researcher time and resources are limited, unstructured interviews would be a poor choice for data collection.
Unstructured interviews do not tend to include a lot of specific questions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The values from each item in a Likert scale are summed to provide a total score.
Data are ranked only therefore it would be considered ordinal data. The values from each item in a Likert scale are summed to provide a total score.
Response set biases can be a problem with any self-report data. The values from each item in a Likert scale are summed to provide a total score.
The number of response items varies. The values from each item in a Likert scale are summed to provide a total score.
