Question

If you were interested in influencing policy with regard to control of noise in a particular work environment, you would need to consider all of the following in terms of surveying those in the work environment EXCEPT:__________.

Select one:
A. how people understand what noise is
B. making questions on a survey unbiased
C. getting qualitative responses as well as quantitative data
D. whether the results can be generalized to other settings

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

whether the results can be generalized to other settings (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The key statement in the question that will help you to choose the correct answer is; "a particular work environment". The survey will be designed for that particular setting, hence the researcher will not be concerned with the application of the result of the research in settings other than the particular settings of interest. However, the other options are valid points because consideration will be made on how people understand noise in the survey, the survey questions will be as unbiased as possible, and both qualitative and quantitative responses will be collected for quality.
