Statement II:Context sensitivity cannot be completely removed from qualitative data.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true ✓ Correct

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Explanation

Both statements are true because qualitative data are powerful through their sensitive context and that context sensitivity cannot be fully removed.

Statement 1 holds since meaning is embedded in the social, historical and temporal setting.

Statement 2 holds since stripping away the context would strip away the data's meaning.

Rich context gives qualitative findings their depth and authenticity.

Analysis interprets data within, not apart from, their setting.

This context bound nature limits simple generalisation.
