Explanation

Survey research does enjoy the advantage of sampling large numbers of selected respondents, so Statement 1 is correct.

Wide coverage lets findings be generalised to the broader population.

Statement 2 is false because researchers have several options besides administering surveys themselves.

Surveys can be run by trained interviewers, by mail, by telephone, or online without the researcher's personal presence.

Self-administered questionnaires further remove the need for the researcher to conduct each one.

Mode of administration affects response rates and the risk of interviewer bias.
