A1, 2 & 3 only ✓ Correct
B2, 3 & 4 only
C3, 4 & 5 only
D1, 3 & 4 only
Correct answer: (A) 1, 2 & 3 only — Quantitative research must consider measurement, causality and replication, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
Explanation
★Quantitative research must consider measurement, causality and replication, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
★Quantitative research is expressed in numbers and tests theories.
★It relies on careful measurement of variables, matching item 1.
★It examines causality between variables, matching item 2.
★It values replication so findings can be confirmed, matching item 3.
★It uses statistical analysis and standardisation rather than excluding or downplaying them.
★So the factors to consider are items 1, 2 and 3.
