The major strength of the most similar approach is that
a. it is the easiest method to generate a statistically significant number of cases.
b. the findings apply only to countries with roughly the same value of the dependent variable as those in the study.
c. researchers can generalize the findings to a wide range of different countries.
d. the findings would seem to apply to countries with very different values of the dependent variable.
e. it limits the chance that researchers will generalize from the findings to countries that are quite different from the ones examined in the study, which prevents them from drawing false conclusions.
Question 2
The comparative method
a. seeks to explain political outcomes by looking at the effects of individual political actors and gaining an understanding of their decision-making process.
b. combines aspects of most similar and most different studies by looking at sets of similar cases, each set coming from a particular region, and then comparing the findings across different regions.
c. is a research design which seeks to understand the effects of a particular dependent variable by examining a small number of cases.
d. is a project that examines a particular research question in a case that exhibits characteristics very different from a generally-known pattern. Understanding why such an outlier exists may give researchers new insight into the topic of their study.
e. is a logical process in which existing general laws are used to explain specific events.
