Given below are two statements Statement I : Exploration is particularly useful when researchers lack a clear idea of the problems they will meet during the study. Statement II : Through exploration, researchers develop concepts more clearly, establish priorities, develop operational definitions, and improve the final research design. In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below Correct Answer Both Statement I and Statement II are true

 Key PointsStatement I: Exploration is particularly useful when researchers lack a clear idea of the problems they will meet during the study.

  • Exploratory research is often conducted because a problem has not been clearly defined as yet, or its real scope is as yet unclear.
  • It allows the researcher to familiarize him/herself with the problem or concept to be studied, and perhaps generate hypotheses to be tested.
  • It is the initial research, before more conclusive research is undertaken.
  • Exploratory research helps determine the best research design, data collection method, and selection of subjects, and sometimes it even concludes that the problem does not exist.

Hence statement I is correct.

Statement II : Through exploration, researchers develop concepts more clearly, establish priorities, develop operational definitions, and improve the final research design.

  • Exploratory research can be quite informal, relying on secondary research such as reviewing available literature
  • It can also be based on qualitative approaches such as informal discussions with consumers, employees, management, or competitors, through in-depth interviews, focus groups, projective methods, case studies, or pilot studies.
  • The results of exploratory research are not usually useful for decision-making by themselves, but they can provide significant insight into a given situation.
  • In other words, the results can neither be generalized; they are not representative of the whole population being studied.

Hence statement II is correct.

Hence, both statement I and statement II are correct.

In the following question, the 1st and the last part of the sentence/passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/ passage is split into four parts and named P, Q, R and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/ passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct. 1. It is widely known that the use of social media affects mental health, but a new, three-year study has found that it is the lack of sleep from its use and the psychological distress caused by cyberbullying via the platforms that are the main reasons affecting one’s state of mind, more than use of the actual apps. P. Girls who were checking social media also reported to be less happy and more anxious; however, boys didn’t report the same feelings. Q. In girls, the researchers said, the negative effects were due to disrupted sleep, cyberbullying and to some extent, lack of exercise. R. Researchers found that girls and boys who checked social media sites more than thrice a day had poorer mental health and greater psychological distress. S. In boys, the same three factors — disrupted sleep, cyberbullying, lack of exercise — had an effect too, but it was much smaller. 6. Dr Dasha Nicholls, from Imperial College London, who was also involved in the study added, “It’s not the amount of social media, per se, it’s when it displaces real-life contact and activities. It’s about getting a balance.”

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
The human eye is a complex part of the body that is used for seeing. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he really sees is the light reflected from the object. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on the retina of the eye. Here the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain and then over other nerves to muscles and glands.
The eye is similar to a television camera. Both the eye and the television camera convert light energy to electrical energy. The eye converts light to nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain as the sense perception called sight. A television camera converts light to electronic signals that are broadcast and transformed into light images in a television receiver. It is wonderful that human eyes blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the tear or lachrymal glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are situated behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye. The sense perception that the brain releases after the eye converts light to nerve impulses is known as
