Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Literature reviews include scholarly analyses of research. A meta-analysis merges statistical results from related studies to discover similarities and differences in their findings. An integrative literature review synthesizes research findings and formulates ideas about future research. A systematic review of the literature provides a comprehensive, unbiased analysis through the use of a strict scientific design to select and assess each of the studies. Grounded theory research derives theories from the data collected in studies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The research process involves many different components. The literature review is conducted after a research problem is identified. Ethical procedures must be addressed before the study begins. Data are then collected and analyzed before discussion of the research results.
