Statement II:Review of literature is not of any help in learning different theoretical and methodological approaches to your research area

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false ✓ Correct

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Explanation

Review of literature does help interpret one's findings, but the claim that it does not aid learning approaches is false.

Statement 1 is true, because comparing findings with prior studies gives them meaning and context.

Statement 2 is false, since literature review is a chief way to learn theoretical and methodological approaches in a field.

It reveals which theories and designs earlier researchers used and how well they worked.

It also exposes gaps that a new study can address and prevents needless duplication.

A sound review both frames the problem and interprets the results.
