Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Research types are classified along different axes. The purpose axis distinguishes basic research, which extends knowledge, from applied research, which addresses practical problems.
The methodological axis distinguishes quantitative research, which uses numerical measurement and objective assessment, from qualitative research, which explores and describes meanings, experiences, and concepts.
Application
Research type | Purpose | Match |
|---|---|---|
Applied research | Finding practical solutions to everyday issues | (A)-(IV) |
Basic research | Contribution to knowledge | (B)-(III) |
Quantitative research | Focus on objective assessment | (C)-(II) |
Qualitative research | Exploration and description of concepts | (D)-(I) |
Cross-check
The purpose-based pairings separate practical problem-solving from knowledge-building, while the method-based pairings separate numerical assessment from interpretive exploration. Thus the complete mapping is (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).
