Question

Group of answer choices Surveys allow respondents to speak in their own words and can reveal respondents’ thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.

Surveys allow students to answer the questions in private and assure the confidentiality of their responses. Surveys are more expensive and allow for larger staffs and budgets.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Surveys allow students to answer the questions in private and assure the confidentiality of their responses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Surveys are a great way of ensuring the student's confidentiality and provides a secure environment for him/her to answer truthfully about more sensitive subjects. During an interview there is a bigger probability of giving a wrong answer since there can be certain fear of what the interviewer might think. The survey assures one's anonymity.
