Arrange the different stages involved in the process of deduction in the correct sequence. Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
- 1. Revision of theory
- 2. Hypothesis confirmed or rejected
- 3. Findings
- 4. Data collection
A1, 2, 4, 3
B4, 3, 2, 1 ✓ Correct
C1, 3, 2, 4
D2, 4, 1, 3
Correct answer: (B) 4, 3, 2, 1 — The correct sequence is data collection, findings, hypothesis confirmed or rejected, revision of theory, so the answer is 4, 3, 2, 1.
Explanation
★The correct sequence is data collection, findings, hypothesis confirmed or rejected, revision of theory, so the answer is 4, 3, 2, 1.
★In the deductive process, testing follows from theory and hypothesis.
★First the researcher collects data to test the hypothesis.
★Then the findings emerge from the collected data.
★Next the hypothesis is confirmed or rejected on the basis of the findings.
★Finally the theory is revised in light of the result, giving 4, 3, 2, 1.
