Explanation
★The two main approaches of research are qualitative and quantitative, so that is the answer.
★Research is broadly divided by the kind of data and reasoning it uses.
★The qualitative approach explores meanings and views in depth, in words rather than numbers.
★The quantitative approach measures and analyses numerical data using statistics.
